Brake/Clutch Reservoir on the Firewall

[Doenut]

If I want to mount my Brake and Clutch Reservoir on the firewall how much spacing is needed to have access when the body is on?

Thanks

I think it's been done, but you want to make sure the bottom of the reservoir is above the top of the MCs. accessing the top of the reservoir might be an issue w/ the body in place, and if you are using a mechanical throttle linkage, this real estate is taken.
Many put in on the frame just forward of the footbox w/ no issues. Any reason you can't have it there? brake booster?

The body overhangs the standard firewall by 6 3/4 inches and space is limited depending on engine and air cleaner selection.

Thanks for the help Norm/egchewy79

I'm doing a Coyote so neither of those considerations gets in the way
Based on that I just need to figure where this will go in relation to the rest of the stuff in there

Thanks Again

my setup is there, I know it will be a PITA for service, but didn't have other options for space

FFmetal also has a firewall forward kit that moves the firewall forward 1.5"
I have a 302, but moved mine from an extended firewall mount to just in front of the footbox as many builders do for ease of service.

After further review moving the reservoir out 7" pretty well sets it directly on top of the valve cover
So it looks like I'll be doing mine similar to toadster

Thanks for the help guys
