VT brake upgrade in - but Reservoir is tilted - which one will fix this issue?

[Scatman696]

Good Evening All

I’ve just upgraded my brake booster and master from original VK Berlina to a VT setup.

The issues I have is the reservoir.

The VT master reservoir is tilted poorly - is there another reservoir that will fit on that will fix this?

Also I have a new master cylinder for the original set up that is slanted for the correct tilt. Will this work?

Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

@gtrboyy you might know this one perhaps?

Cheers

I believe the vs or a ford reservoir is the answer?

Yup, the VS one should sort it.

Ah okay thanks

vs or au....cant remember why but think vs reservoir was nicer looking.

Ford have low fluid switch & maybe vs does not so looks neater?

Anyways found it was cheaper/quicker to 2nd hand ford m/cylinders on marketplace than to just buy reservoir & cap new.

Think got 2 ford m/cylinders + boosters $40 pair...hence cheaper price.

Brake line daptors look shite!!!!

The other issue is the retaining hole needs to be re-drilled in the new VS/AU reservoir to correctly locate on the VT master cylinder body.

Agree, every time I open my bonnet on my VK the line adaptors look like dogs balls, but put up with it as it stops now.

I re-flared the lines on my VN when I did it, PITA job to do but looked good in the end.

i got a brand new vu m/c as a spare sitting in a box and compare it to my old vs m/c and have a modified vt-vy m/c fitted which i got off ebay back in 2018 it has a reservoir of a AU falcon so the bolt hole lines up

I used a custom made bracket that corrects the angle so no need to stuff around with reservoirs or redrilling holes.
