Hey Guys,
I'm finally building out the brake systems, pedal box, etc. With CNC no longer making the triple reservoir, I came across this on Forte's website. Anyone install one? Curious how it will fit given how tall it is compared to others, at least it looks tall.
Thanks,
Rob

I have the CNC reservoirs, but these should fit fine. There's nothing close to the bottom of these reservoirs except for your headers. make sure the fluid level is above the master cylinders and keep the top of the caps at or below the 3/4" frame for hood clearance. Keep the reservoirs w/in 12" or so of the footbox wall to avoid interference with your hood struts. If too close to your headers, consider fabricating a heat shield to keep your brake fluid from getting too hot.

I did. They fit great in the Roadster. I did make an aluminum plate and bolted the plate to the rail. Body on, plenty of clearance.

My triple came from Fortes and no issues at all. It's a nice well built unit.

Amazing, thanks! Great looking bay. Did the reservoirs come with the hardware underneath to connect the hoses or did you order those separately? If ordered separately, are they the standard 1/8" NPT to what size nipple? I'm a bit of a plumbing noob, trying to learn the correct terms here as I go. I also see that there are connections on the back; do they require a block off inserted there?

Thanks,
Rob
