I have the FFR reservoir and it isn't vented either. When I inquired about the issue, the solution offered was to leave the cap loose and/or remove the sealing O-ring.

Kevin has me thinking about a small (tiny) hole in the top of the cap also

The instructors at the build school said to simply remove the "O" rings from the reservoir. That's all I did and the brakes work fine. IMO I would rather do that then drill a hole in the cap.

Sure makes one wonder about buying from Wilwood doesn't it?

Contacted CNC about their reservoirs & they have a pin hole vent in the cap, so will stay with what I have.
