Clutch / Fluid Bottle - Access and relocation

[8nil]

Has anyone 'considered / looked into / actually done' a relocation of the clutch & brake fluid bottle (Tuscan, or any of the 'T' cars)?

A couple of sparky ideas in my head are to;

1. Move the bottle wholesale into the engine bay, or;
2. Fit a small remote reservoir to some location that is easily accessable.

Your suggestions, solutions, considerations would be warmly welcomed.

Yours

A decent sized syringe does the trick to be honest....

Dickie...
Good point well made. I do that just now, but was looking to have a form of set up that was a little less challeging for quick visuals and for bleeding / topping up (avoids p155ing brake fluid behind the pedal box and other such japes!).
I have a flip bonnet conversion, so having an external remote reservoir has an attraction if located in the engine bay.

Done it. I have built a brake bias box and mounted all three in the engine bay. I cut the fibreglass above the pedals, the flat area below the scuttle, and made a tray to mount the reservoirs in as there is very little clearance to the underside of the bonnet.

I can't post pics as tech things are beyond my skill set.

Easy to fill/check

Could you post details of the parts you used to make this conversion, especially the connection to the brake master cylinder please?

Sorry late reply. The connections you refer to are on mine to two separate Girling master cylinders. I think the standard part is ex Ford Ka so will need to connect to that, ummmmhh think not easy.
