Porsche 356A - 1955 to 1959
Porsche 356B - 1959 to 1963
This is a Concourse quality gland nut strainer screen, for your ATE Metal master cylinder reservoir tanks. These screens are a good idea to replace after few years, since the brake fluid will over time clog the screen. These can easily unscrew off and be replaced when bleeding your brake fluid.
Diagram Ref No 17
The brake fluid reservoir stores the hydraulic fluid required for brake operation. From the reservoir, fluid must travel through secure connections to the master cylinder and the rest of the braking system. The union provides an important connection point, while the integrated strainer helps keep unwanted particles and debris from passing further into the system.
What This Product Does:
- Provides a connection at the brake fluid reservoir.
- Helps transfer brake fluid from the reservoir into the hydraulic supply system.
- Incorporates a strainer to help capture larger particles and debris.
- Helps protect downstream hydraulic components from contamination.
- Supports a clean and reliable brake fluid supply.
- Helps maintain a secure connection at the brake fluid tank.
- Supports correct operation of the master cylinder and hydraulic braking system.
- Replaces a damaged, contaminated, corroded, blocked, or missing component.
- Provides an OE-style replacement for compatible classic vehicle applications.
- Is suitable for brake system maintenance and restoration projects.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Brake fluid leaking around the reservoir connection.
- Wetness or fluid staining around the union.
- A brake fluid level that repeatedly falls.
- Visible corrosion or deterioration of the union.
- Cracks, deformation, or physical damage.
- A damaged or contaminated strainer.
- Debris or deposits restricting the strainer.
- Reduced or restricted brake fluid flow.
- Difficulty obtaining a secure, leak-free connection.
- Contamination discovered within the brake fluid reservoir.
- Deterioration found during brake system restoration or servicing.
- The original union or strainer is missing.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The hydraulic braking system relies on a clean and uninterrupted supply of brake fluid. Contamination within the system can damage precision hydraulic components, interfere with seals, and contribute to premature deterioration of the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, or brake calipers.
- The strainer provides an additional level of protection by helping prevent larger debris from travelling from the reservoir into the hydraulic system. If the strainer becomes damaged or is missing, contaminants may have a more direct path into sensitive braking components.
- A blocked or heavily contaminated strainer can also restrict fluid movement. Any restriction within the brake fluid supply system should be investigated because reliable hydraulic operation is essential for consistent braking performance.
- The union must also maintain a dependable fluid-tight connection. Leakage can gradually lower the reservoir level, and if sufficient fluid is lost, air may enter the hydraulic system. This can result in a soft or spongy brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness.

OEMatch Brake Fluid — Stopping Power, Consistent Control
OEMatch Brake Fluid for Porsche models keeps hydraulic braking systems functioning predictably. OEMatch brake fluid products are compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances — a practical option when genuine or OEM parts are unavailable. Regular fluid care helps maintain pedal feel and braking consistency across road and track use.
Available Types
- DOT 4
- DOT 5.1
- Race-grade formulations where specified
Understanding OEMatch Brake Fluid
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original brake fluid. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the brake fluid and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM brake fluid engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. Brake fluid transmits hydraulic pressure from the pedal to the calipers and must resist heat and contamination. It gradually absorbs moisture, which lowers boiling point and can cause vapour formation under heavy use. Heat cycles and contamination accelerate chemical breakdown. Choosing the correct fluid type and replacing it at recommended intervals helps preserve system responsiveness and reduces corrosion risk.
Benefits Include
- Restores consistent pedal feel and response
- Improves resistance to fade by maintaining higher boiling point
- Protects internal components from corrosion
- Maintains compatibility with ABS and stability control systems
Why Brake Fluid Wear and Fail
- Moisture absorption that lowers boiling temperature
- Repeated heat cycles causing chemical degradation and vapour generation
- Contamination from incorrect mixing or degraded seals and hoses
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Brake Fluid
Replacing brake fluid helps maintain braking performance and safety on Porsche models. Fresh fluid reduces the chance of fade during sustained or heavy use, safeguards hydraulic components against corrosion and helps retain a consistent pedal feel. Select the appropriate DOT specification for your vehicle and follow the service intervals recommended for your Porsche.
Advantages
- Coverage for common specifications including DOT 4 and DOT 5.1
- Formulations suited to road, track and restoration use
- Includes corrosion inhibitors and controlled viscosity for reliable hydraulic operation
Support & Advice
These items affect safety-critical systems. Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician following model-specific procedures and torque settings. Use calibrated tools and new fasteners where specified.
