I have the power boost from a 1996 donor Cobra. The reservoir fill cap is under the body. Not impossible, but does seem like it may be kind of a pain in the event it needs servicing. Anyone else have experience with this?

Get a condiment squirt bottle and put a piece of clear tubing on it. Put some fluid in it you can get it in there!

While you are changing the fluid you may as well install a remote reservoir. I used the Mercury Villager reservoir and master cylinder fittings. There are plenty of remote reservoirs available.

I ended up purchasing the adapters for the MC from lodestone billetworks. I bought a remote Wilwood reservoir (AN3 fitting) and some AN4 tubing with all the adapters. Got it all mocked up and once I get the chassis back from painter, will get it all put together. Obviously I don’t have the tubing connected yet. Will do that when I know how long the tubing needs to be cut.

P, Google lab equipment and look at large syringes and squeeze dispensing bottles. My syringe is for dispensing adhesive through carpet.
The side-issue is control and keeping the brake fluid off of everything else.

Not all plastics and rubber are compatible with brake fluid. Do some testing before committing.
