lining up my header tank today and I spotted this issue, suggestions taken from any local problem solvers

Has it been sva / iva yet? If so two individual push fit ones but no easy was of fluid level detection hence the question.

Cheers

Rich

Maybe something like this as it comes off the side?? Linky

yes its pre-IVA richard,

may be worth asking this on the dax forum as m/c position and scuttle height are fixed constants with a kitbuild

sure its really an issue though? as to bleed them you just need to raise the bottle. Once done just put it back where you have it now and the fluid level will normally be higher than the m/c's as normal level looks to be about 2 inches higher?

No problem ---- take it from me you won't have a problem with a resevoir at that height.

Out of interest, what's the best way of joining that reservoir to the master cyllinders? Presumably copper pipe would be the norm, but is it possible to go braided hose or somesuch?
