Remote Reservoir Suggestions

[Gizmosrcool]

Hi Everyone. I am looking at reservoirs and do not know how much capacity I need. The OTB and Scott HotRods have a small capacity. Not sure the OTB but the SHR is 1.1oz per reservoir. Compare to the Tilton that has 6oz, 4oz, and 2oz.

Do I need care or worry? recommendations. Thx. Tom

The Tilton piece just works; however, I'm running the larger reservoir shown below:

My Master's all have push on fittings so I went with the push on style reservoir.

The largest is used for the front brakes, while the intermediate is used for the rear with the smallest for the clutch.

I agree, I think the larger version is a bit easier to manage. If you're looking for one with AN fittings, they make the same larger size, but with the -4 AN fittings like the one you suggested:

I installed one of these a couple of years ago, and I've been very happy with it. I also saw on the forum (I think from Edwardb), that you can install a Schrader air valve in a spare reservoir cover and use that with very low pressure compressed air (say 5-6psi) to bleed the brakes and the clutch. This works incredibly well.

I'm using this one, it's a nice piece. And I was able to order a spare cap from Scott's for use with a power bleeder.

I did the Tilton set up:

I believe I still have a spare Motive brake bleeder if you go that route and need one PM me.

With CNC no longer an option, I actually just went with a variation of the reservoirs they provide in the kit. The newest version (assuming it hasn't changed in the past 1.5 years) is nice and large and has plenty of volume. Also though the aesthetics are very good with the larger caps. Just need to nest three close to each other.

I use the Tilton reservoir. Very happy with it, even though it surprisingly came without rubber diaphragms in the caps, thus exposing the fluid to air. Had to make some myself to fix that.

BrewCityCobra. Ohhh. I did not know the kit includes reservoirs. Does it come with three? Do you know the capacity. I might simply use them as u have done.

Thank You Everyone for all the suggestions. Appreciate it. Tom

I think the kit comes with two, but you can order a 3rd if you want to split the front and rear brakes. Just give Five a call. I had originally done this with my roadster, but when I built the style of reservoirs that FFR sold were different, and they always leaked for me. The new style look a lot better.

I used Jamar triple unit. Looks great and works fine.

Yeah those look badass. I was going to get those but the Titons kinda drew me in. Nice though.

FYI for anyone that needs an extra, I've got the FFR racing ones new in the box that I'll need to get rid of, reach out to me if you have an interest.

I went with the Mike Forte’s Wilwood triple setup for my upcoming build. I believe the reservoirs have a 4 ounce capacity each. I also purchased the same fittings that Frank from i.e427 used in one of his videos from Mike.

I have the Scott's Hotrods triple remote resevoirs - very happy with them. Repurposed the FFR Coyote PDB mounting bracket to mount them to the rail.

As Chopper said - you only get two with the kit (brakes and clutch) but you can either buy a third from FFR or (like i did) procure one from somebody here on the board. A lot of people dump them for other styles of reservoir so they are certainly available. Just need to confirm it is the right style.

Let me know if you need more pics of my setup (not that this is a particularly complex concept). I have a bunch.

[Gizmosrcool]

Thx again everyone x 2. I will see what is delivered with the kit and go from there. I like both the SHR and the tilton. The SHR for the looks and the tilton for the capacity. For once I am not spending $$. Seems weird.

CaptB, how much do you want for (1) reservoir?
