Brake Fluid Reservoir Orientation
Joshy - 18/7/14 at 01:32 PM

Hi all

I have a master cylinder from an XR4X4 and a fluid reservoir from a standard Sierra:



My master cylinder sits perfectly horizontally when bolted to my pedal box - this would mean the fluid reservoir would sit at an angle. Will this be OK, or do I need to remote mount my reservoir such that it sits horizontally and connect to the master cylinder with flexible tubes?

Thanks
Josh

It will be fine as shown, fill to top of low mark on right and it will have plenty of fluid in it.
