Hey guys, anyone know if there's another brake fluid reservoir to suit the vt 1 1/4 bore master cylinder which is about an inch lower at the back end (firewall side)?
the reason i ask is that i have a vs brake booster and vt master cyl on my vl, but the vl 5.0l strut brace i bought wont fit in cos it fouls on the top of the brake fluid res so i cant shut the bonnet or it will smash it off.
the options i can see that i have so far are to:
-get another model car's reservoir that will bolt on without too much modification (best option)
-buy 2 remote mounted clutch fluid reservoirs and mount them to the firewall and thread a fitting into the exposed ports of the front and rear circuits of the master cyl. (second fav option)
-find someone to make me a billet one where i will have to take the cap off everytime i want to check levels (bit of a bastard cos i'll have to take off the strut brace to do this anyway i think.)
cheers guys
