If you have the master cylinders without a reservoir then the plastic resevoirs sold by Merlin Motorsport do the job, but at over £20 for a single reservoir or £45 + VAT for the twin with SVA cap they are expensive. You also need special hose at £11.70 + VAT per metre! If you have not already got your M/C's then why not get ones with built in reservoirs and use the Ford caps I posted about earlier.

I got one out of a 5-series BMW at a scrappy. Dual outlets, brake fluid level warning sender, made by ATE. Fiat Tipos also have a triple outlet reservoir with a fluid level switch (hydraulic clutch on a Tipo, see?). If you're really stuck I have a spare one you can have.

If your scrappy is charging 18 quid for something similar....go somewhere else!

Koen,

I just got this reservoir:

It has two exits, and should be easy to connect to your mastercylinders. This is what I intend to do.
Oh, it comes from an Escort I believe (but I'm sure there are thousands of alternatives (like Sierra).

Groet,
