After being told by a member that my fluid reservoir was too low on the firewall, I decided to set aside the single reservoir unit from FFR and replace it with a dual reservoir one from Summit. It has two chambers, and the fittings can be mounted on the back side so there are no hoses hanging below it. The bolts for mounting are right in the back also so it's a very clean install. I much prefer having separate chambers for front and rear brakes.
One picture shows the original reservoir being way too low. I thank the member for pointing it out.

The aftermarket Dual chamber reservoir that I got from Summit Racing.

The new placement has two hoses going through the firewall from the back of the reservoir, therefor I have no hose showing on the front of the firewall. This also places the top of the reservoir above the level of the Master cylinders.

I like what you did with those carbon fibre "collars" that cover over the weld fillets around the frame struts where they meet the firewall sheet metal.

I didn't care for the gaps, so I made the carbon pieces by soaking ER Epoxy resin into two layers of carbon cloth.
Thank you
