Master Cyl Reservoirs
Just to check, there is nothing in the SVA bible that stops me from using a single reservoir with built in level sensing to feed 3 master cyls (2
brake 1 clutch) is there????
Will be getting my mate Clive to make me one up and just thought I'd better check.
Posted it on here before but here's an example of his work, another master cyl reservoir fitted with a level sensor from RS components.

Mr RazMan,
You've disappointed us all with your choice of reservoir. I expected something a little bit more shiny.

ahh boo, sell it and give Clive a ring for a nice shiny stainless one, they are superb!!!! Make all these ally tanks on the market look like old
shite!
good to hear no probs with triple ressy tho! The float switches he's found are cool! Brake fluid proof, pretty cheap and industrial spec so
won't fail. not in the cap either so nice and clean and easy when you come to fill it!

If you are going to have it custom made surely it's a good idea to have three separate compartmantes from say half way down, that way a leak in
one of the systems will not cause the other two to fail.

That is exactly how these m/c resevoirs work. Otherwise the fluid level sensor wouldn't do its job, protecting 3 chambers.
I'm having trouble finding a suitable place to mount my cheap plastic m/c so I might be looking for a shiny (but different shaped)
replacement soon - possibly a washer bottle too. If anyone would like to send me some links I would appreciate it.

Best is they stay shiny!!
Saw one of his washer bottles that's been under the bonnet of a Manta for a year now without polishing, one wipe and it looked like new
again.
Ally ones just don't do that, they go all white and horrid if you don't keep polishing!

Its basically a combined brake fluid & screenwash tank. There are internal dividers to separate the two compartments with two internal baffles for
the brake m/c's. A fluid switch need to be included somehow and I suggest it is mounted on the rear of the tank as shown. If a washer pump can
also be included that would be perfect.
.... and it wants to be SHINY!!
