Brake reservoirs in cockpit

[motorsportbeng]

Hi all, are there any MSA rules that govern where you can put the brake fluid reservoirs? I ideally want them in the cockpit for installation reasons but I know for Formula Student at least we had to enclose the master cylinders in a sealed compartment inside the cockpit, effectively acting as a bulkhead between the driver and the fluid. I had a quick browse through the MSA blue book and couldn't see anything against it though? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Yes and yes.

Reynard F3 cars from late 1980's and possibly early 1990's had the clutch master cylinder within the cockpit, and in not a way that could easily be boxed in or even moved. Most scrutineers were happy with it.

You will need to box them in or ideally have them outside. Check J5.2.1, single seaters are a slightly different case as some will have been homoligated by the FIA.

Most brake fluid is highly flammable and thereby constitutes a hazard.

I would interpret J.5.1.2 to mean that the reservoir must isolated from the driver, but as the OP suggested, the master cylinder may be in there.
So remote reservoir?
