When I removed the plug from Van’s supplied brake reservoir, it was galled and stripped. It had been threaded in way too tight and without lubricant. Never a good thing.
I ordered a stainless replacement, applied a little Fuel Lube (actually EZ Turn, these days), and it went right in.
Since the brakes have already been bled, I REALLY didn’t want to remove the reservoir or tap it in place. Happily, neither was necessary.

Modeling clay (way too much, as it turned out) applied per the instructions.
Also too much modeling clay…
One of the canopy guide plates riveted in place.
And the other one…
