fluid level switch for SVA?
Originally I was going to use single fluid reservoirs for each master cylinders (3 in total)
But I presume I will need a fluid level switch for SVA?
Is there any way of doing this using the single fluid reservoirs?
Or am I going to have to use a multi chamber one with a built-in fluid level switch for SVA?
P.s. does anyone know what diaphragms are used for in the single pot reservoirs?

You will find that a single reservoir with chambers and a common level switch will please Mr SVA whereas he will frown on seperate reservoirs with
only one level switch.
AFAIK the diapragms are to prevent sloshing and aeration of the fluid.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

As far as I'm aware the purpose of the diaphragm is to isolate the fluid from the external atmosphere. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, (it absorbs
water), so keeping it remote from the damp outside air preserves it's integrity.

Don't panic, you can buy extension tubes to go on top plus a float switch cap.
Try car builder solutions for the caps. I am not sure of where to get the tubes, but I have seen them on single seaters.

You would only need them on the two brake resevoirs not the clutch.
I found that the cap from a Sierra fitted on the standard single cylinders.
