Brake resovir bottle

[g8lfer]

Has anyone ever had any problems with brake resoveur bottle protruding to high that you can't fit dash speedo pod back in. I have made up new clocks with old external pod housing and I'm wondering if anyone has moved or adjusted the resovier ?

Many thanks for reading

The reservoir is a fixed point on top of the brake mastercylinder so 'nope' is a fair answer.

Looks like its back to the drawing board mate.As ian suggests.You cant move the reservoir.

I'm wondering if anyone has moved or adjusted the resovier ?

there was some talk of alternative break master cylinders https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... h&start=45" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In theory the only thing that is fixed is the master cylinder itself. It wouldn't be that difficult to fit remote resevoirs with pipework going back to the master cylinders (remember the resevoir is shared).
However, the resevoirs would need to be positioned HIGHER than the master cylinders and I doubt you would want them hanging from the rear view mirror lol
Therefore, the only option would be to fabricate a modified pod.
