Here you can see the float switch that warns if fluid is low.

Decided to add an extra support bracket to the hydroboost/master cylinder. Not much room under the hood to fabricate close tolerance pieces.

Here you can see how it goes together.

Another view of the bracket.


Here's the bracket for the reservoir. More going on here than meets the eye.

Another view of the adapters. There will be a hose barb attached and hose that goes to the master cylinder. Finding brake fluid rated hose/rubber bung seals is a real challenge.

Needed to make these adapters for the remote mounting of the reservoir.

Here is a test fit for the bell crank, hydroboost and master cylinder. pretty tight as you can see.


Reservoir has to be relocated as there just isn't room above the master cylinder in its new location. I had to remove the fill for the water tanks and will need to find another location. There was LOTS of silicone on and around the fill and a bit of rest below. Didn't think much of the factory fill location with all the turns and anguished routing.

Another view of the assembly.

Here is the hold down strap for the bungs. The bungs are upside down in this shot.

Here is a view of the adapter bungs and holder that will be used for the remote reservoir.
