    AP or GIRLING BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIRS ON A MK1 ?

    Ive virtually finished fitting Goodridge brake lines straight through on my mk1 but im unsure which Brake fluid pots to use and the best position on the bulkhead to fit them.

    AP look better but i don't like the connections (pipe and jubilee clips or crimping)

    Girling I can use goodridge braided hose & fittings.

    The position of the pots is important as it is quite tight between the top of the pedal box and the top of the bulkhead.

    When the pots look like they are in a good position im still a little unsure if there is enough room for the pipes to bend without fouling the top of the pedal box.
    Position them near the bonnet hinge and they might foul the group 4 accelerator pedal and throttle cable etc.

    Whats your view's ?

    Cheers Jules,

    How do you get the pots to sit square when they are bolted through at an angle?
