Disc brake reservoir cover

Just wanted to show the cover I made for my brake fluid reservoir. I thought the plastic cover painted silver looked like total crap and no cover at all wasn't to bad but a nice aluminum cover looks better.

I had a chance to play with a metal shear and brake so I had to make something!

Pic shows a very neat and clean cover, nice job. Just curious, is that one of the recalled ActiBrake actuators?

Oops, it is an ActiBrake system. Didn't know about a recall, guess I'll be checking into that.that means my new little cover will be coming off again.
Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't see anything on the ActiBrake recall, only the Carlisle recall. Any idea where I might find more info? I googled it but didn't have any luck. Here's a close up picture of what I have.
Appreciate your help.
