    Who wanted Brake fluid Reservoirs again ?

    I Am Just doing the next Batch of Catch Tanks and stuff, and I wanted to be sure who wanted some ?

    So Far I have
    Clint: 1x pair of tanks Standard, 1x pair with single 3/4 inlet +5/16 gearbox breather

    Mk1 Matt: Pair of tanks Standard

    Big Dave ?? Brake fluid Reservoir

    Someone else wanted a Fluid Res as well ??

    Prices are £70 Brake res and £65 Breather +p&p

    If you could all let me know ASAP if you still want them and if anyone else wants anything then I`ll add you to this batch

    Cheers
    Dom

    Hi Dave, That is the breather hole above the baffle

    You can put a tiny bit of Tank foam in there as well if you want, between the top of the baffle and the lid

    Dom, not screwed in place yet as I am going to use rubber mounting feet. I really need the resevoir slightly higher to give clearance for the JIC fittings. BUt here is where it sits...

    I would also add options for future tanks if you get any more made mate? Some may find it easier to have the outlets on the bottom for example? If I had thought about it, would have been better to have -6 fittings also??

    -6 would be overkill
    -4 is usual supply and Clutch feed size

    but I can do whatever people want

    I can and do yes......

    But I am going away for 6 months so trying to keep it to fairly stock items at the moment

    let me know what you want and we can go from there....


    Gartrac on here is going to be looking after the distribution tanks and stuff while I am away, but I`ll still be around for the design/special stuff....... just in a bit of a different time zone 9hrs ahead I believe

    let me know what you want and we`ll go from there

    Never heard that one before ???

    Integral Master cylinders are a Metal container

    The main reason for switching to Plastic over the years is to satisfy the need to see the level, it also makes casting the cylinder a lot cheaper and easier

    Legally these fit the requirements with a clear cap
