Low Profile Brake Fluid Reservoir?

[Panama]

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

Afaik they are all the same dimensions (height) from vt-vz.. why not just modify your strut brace to suit ?

use a VS reservoir.

same as what you need to do when using VT master on a VS booster. will make the top of the res sit level again.

theres no way to modify the strut brace alloytec. yeah i will have to go to the wreckers. unfortunately holden and rapeco can't supply the oem vs one.

Ive got a VS booster and VT master in the VK, its probably worth putting the VS reservoir one on, ive got the VT one still, works fine and all and the level sits well above min on the front but just doesnt look quite right.

yeah mines the same in the level dept. i'll go have a look today

cant even turn it around as it fouls on the alternator.

You can also use a reservoir from an AU Falcon, fits straight on and sits level, this is what I did in my VL with the VS Booster / VT Master setup
