What triple reservoir are you guys using since CNC is not available ? I have not seen any feedback on OTB triple. Thanks.

The OTB triple looks nice but I think the reservoir volume is pretty small

These are similar to the CNC triple. Not a big fan of the logo but the do seem well built

I saw this at Summit Racing but it was a bit more bling than I wanted.

I'm running a Tilton reservoir instead.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

This Jamar looks like a nice set-up.

I used scotts hotrods triple. Is smaller and when polished up looks nice. Worked well for me.

1.1 oz seems pretty small, how much fluid do we need?

All you need in the reservoir is enough volume to move the pistons in your calipers to take up the running distance between the pads and the rotor.

https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=137043&d=1604272967

The pistons don't move very far, which means the volume of fluid needed is very small, even for big multi-piston calipers. Without all the measurements, I'd make a wild guess that you are only moving a couple of 10th's of an ounce to make them work at their peak. Now, if you are racing the car or driving it very hard, you may want more volume than what is needed for a street-driven car.

Lots of guys are using the smaller reservoir options out there with no issues.

I just found the spec data for the Wilwood calipers I have to use as an example.

Front (6 piston) caliper piston area (ea.): 4.04 sq.in.
Rear (2 piston) caliper piston area (ea.): 1.98 sq. in.

Total piston area = 12.04 sq.in = 305.816 sq.mm

Assume 1mm running clearance to keep the math simple (reality is likely 0.1mm)

(305.816 * 1) / 1000 = .305816cc = 0.0103oz.

That looks great.

It is true that you don't need a lot for operation. However, I am a fan of having some reserve in case of a leak. That includes when a master cylinder or caliper piston seal goes bad. Not on an FFR, but I had a M/C leak, and I got more than 1oz out of the rod boot.

I almost ordered the Scott's until I realized that they were the size of a thimble. Wilwood aluminum reservoirs are 4oz. A much more comfortable number to me.
