Where can I purchase a polished remote brake reservoir? While squareing the body to the frame today, I found out that the reservoirs that came with the kit sit too high. Now, I think I would like nice ones in the engine bay side of the firewall. Thanks, John
Kugel and CNC are two that come to mind. The Kugel reservoirs are more "showy". There are others as well.

Scotts are very nice reservoirs but they are very small in capacity. I think it states 50ml per reservoir. 1.7 ounces.
The CNC are not as nice but they are the only affordable reservoirs with larger capacities.
Does anyone know what is recommended for capacity? I went with the CNC reservoirs but Scotts would have been much nicer for show.
Scotts Triple

CNC Triple
6767
Here is a picture of the CNC dual reservoir on my '33.

I like your setup the most. I wanted the reservoirs under the cowl, but when they were sitting too high, I thought I might put nice ones on the firewall. Your set up and the larger capacity of the CNC's changed my mind. Thanks everyone!!! John

If you take a little time on the CNC Triple you can get them polished up OK. It is cast metal but they do look good polished.
