I had a question about the Wilwood Pedal option for my 818C. The directions for the pedal show three reservoirs. The photos people have taken of the 818C at FFR seem to have three reservoirs. Yet the kit only ships with one?

Is there any insight as to why only one? The quick and short answer I got from FFR was, it's not needed, with no real explanation as to why. If it's not needed, why is it in the directions or on the new coupe at FFR?

Split option for the brakes. One for the front and rear the other one would be clutch. You could run the brakes off the same reservoir.

Here's the skinney: I also faced the same problem. After some checking and calling, FFR admitted that I should've received 2 reservoirs, however by that time I had become frustrated and ordered the 2 extra reservoirs. I know of no state which would approve of one fluid reservoir to supply both brake master cylinders and the clutch master also! This is not safe! FFR should coerrect this because it isn't right. As for the cost of the extra reservoirs, I suggest you press FFR for the second one and dig deeper for the third one. You'll be happier that way.

lance thanks for the replies. at a minimum I'll order the extra reservoirs if need be, but certainly ask for them to be included as they are shown in the installation manual.

And FYI, I did some checking and the FFR reservoirs are cheaper than the wilwood reservoirs. ~$43 vs ~$75! And they will match your other one, which the wilwoods will not.
