Is it possible to have the brake oil resevoir connected to the MC through pipes? For instance, to make the resevoir more accessible...
Is the sierra MC any good?

Most people us girling masters, 6.5 for front brakes 7.0 for rear brakes, and 7.5 for hydraulic clutch, all of these can have remote resevoirs mounted above the cylinders.
Some people go so far as to mout the resevoirs on the dash (racecars) so the fluid level can be seen during the race.

I've got one from a fiat 124 with a remote reservoir. It has 8mm outlets on the master cylinder so the reservoir can be fitted wherever you want and conected by pipes. Do a search on sierra MC's apparently they aren't the best for cars without servo assistance.

What MC do you recommend for better results?
What do i need to install a remote resevoir? Can I use the one that comes with the MC? I would like to install the resevoir over the pedal box for easy access and to avoid the steering column...

Fiat 124/Lada Riva master cylinder cheap and easier to find than Mk1 Fiesta non servo.

Brakes International sell them.
