Brake fluid level

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but just to check....

Do you have to have a brake fluid level warning to pass SVA?

That's fine. The usual method is for the warning light to be activated by the handbrake via a switch, but a push button is OK. Whatever turns you on... (sorry for the pun....)

It doesn't have to have a button on it. There needs to be a method of testing the warning light (as was said, most use the handbrake, that's what I'm doing and what 99% of road cars do)

EEK, sorry if my post was misleading, you do need a fluid level warning !! but a separate switch or button will suffice to test the circuit, as said , the normal test is via the handbrake/ or a button on the reservoir

That's what I thought. What are people using for reservoirs then?

I'd like to use something like this...

..but obviously it has no level switch. I have a Luego twin output jobbie but I'm not too happy with the weight of the feed tube on the plastic fittings.

Barn has all been cleared up since the stuff was by the door! I take it they are standard lids though - will they fit the single reservoirs?
