Remote master cylinder solution
if you have a ford master cylinder and you need to make it have a remote resivour, i found these down the scrap yard off a fiat punto. perfect
solution!

the punto was this shape not sure about the engine size as it had no engine in it but it had a remote master cylinder resivour and i found 2 in the
scrap yard so not that hard to find. and ive bleed the breaks out now and they seem great but make sure you get proper brake fluid hose or you will
fail SVA.

tried them in both a girling and a bendix and fine in both, i didnt use them in the end though as i didnt have enough space anywhere for a reservoir,
managed to get a sierra one

I ordered the parts as per the part number and they will not fit my master cylinder, they are smaller than the ones in the picture. Has anyone had
this problem?
