remote master cylinder reservoir?
I'm using a twin master cylinder, balance bar brake set-up on my new project, the cylinders don't have a built in reservoir.
I've looked at Demon Thieves amongst others and the reservoirs seem to be very expensive for what they are, could anyone recommend a production
car reservoir that is remote and has two chambers or a single chamber one that I could get two of?
Thank you so very much,
Chris 
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

believe me, you will need a switch incorporated and it needs to be brakefluid closed (so no strange rubber can be used....)
i would def. buy one on a brake system..
in fact its possible that they fail you on that point..
The above comments are always meant to be from the above persons perspective.

MNR do a good one (had and sold) for £30.00
Or get 2 master cylinder resovoirs from the scrapyard  Get 2 relatively small ones and use those - one for each mastercylinder.

CBS do a nice 3 chamber reservoir with switch - so you can cover your clutch too.
Cheers,

(it'll be you, it's looking a bit pricey for me, I've got a reputation as a skinflint to protect!  )

If you can do that - I've got an Elise one you can have for £5 + postage
That has 2 outputs on the resevoir, as it also has a hydraulic clutch!
Let me know via U2U

As I understand it both systems need to be separate so that if one fails you till have some braking, you can use a single reservoir but it must be
divided internally to give two separate chambers - is the Elise one like that?
