It looks like CNC has closed their doors - I need to get a stainless steel triple reservoir set up - anyone got a good recommendation?
Ideally something that looks period correct, but anything that looks clean and has a relatively small footprint would work.
Thanks!

x2 on scottshotrods triple. I used on my build (in progress) and worked out nicely. Small volume though. Only a little over an ounce per reservoir but don't think it will be a problem. Have a fun tool at work to laser engrave tooling so engraved each cap to system. Built a little bracket, powder coated and mounted to top 3/4" tube. Make sure you mount within 12" of footbox so hood support strut has space!

Mike Forte' has some that look really nice. I got mine from him and they work great.

These are pretty much the CNC reservoirs in black. They look to be better quality but also a bit more expensive.

I ask that question when I bought mine, the answer was no.

Period correct would be three of these.

However, these are SO period correct, I would think twice. I ordered a set and loved the way they looked. The decals as so fragile, that you can't even insert the canister into the clamp without damage (a layer of packing tape would fix this). One of the caps galled, not cross threaded, just on my test fitting. Just like the originals always did! So I returned them.
I almost got the Scotts ones. They look really nice. But the thimble size capacity put me off. You can burn down over 50% of your brake pad thickness on a track day (ask me how I know). You need fluid to make up for the pad loss. God forbid you have a leak and have almost no reserve.
I was lucky enough to get one of the last CNC triples from kartek when I converted to a hydraulic clutch. They are aluminum, not stainless. The Jamars are almost a duplicate, with fewer screws on the tops. Shame about the logo.
I was just having a poke around. This is a single, but pretty nice looking. More of a modern fabricated look:

Here's another nice looking triple reservoir with better capacity than the scottshotrod version:

No need to have a larger reservoir

I have the smaller triple reservoir installed allocated to both brake circuits (hydro boost + Ford tandem MC) and my hydraulic clutch. Perfect size, doesn't overwhelm the engine bay and works perfectly.

I used the Jamar triple reservoirs. I plan to put a Factory Five badge on it to cover the logo139441
