master cylinder reservoir

Hi all
i was planning on using a mk2 escort brake master cylinder without the servo. i've stripped it down and cleaned it up ready to go on my pedal box. the problem is the way i am going to mount the pedal box, the cylinder would sit horizontal, however the reservoir is designed to go on a cylinder that is mounted at an angle.
does anyone know if i can get a new reservoir that will suit the cylinder mounted horizontal
cheers
Ian

Is it anything like this?

Cortina with cap from a later Escort

I got it from Past Parts in Bury St Edmunds.
I think they have a web site.

Not a plug for me I hasten to add, it's my mate's speciality!:







a couple of examples of his work.

You'd have to call him for a price but you are looking at between £50 and £100 in ball park figures depending on how complex it would need to be, obviously it would include a level sensor etc.
