View Full Version : Reservoir Placement - Mk5
Wondering if anyone sees any red flags on this reservoir placement for Mk5 before I commit to it? I made this bracket at an angle to keep everything level but maybe not necessary? I fit the body last night and felt like I had plenty of clearance and good access but wondering if I'll run into any motor (Coyote) clearance issues. Thanks!

Make sure they clear the hood struts.

They won't fit on that side of the chassis tube with a Coyote. You need to be on the other side. Or elsewhere. These pictures are from my build thread linked below. I discussed options for placement and what I did. An Aluminator but the same as a Coyote. Also agree check for the hood struts.

Super helpful, thanks - glad I asked instead of trying to eyeball it. If on the other side would have to combine front / rear brake reservoirs if I stick with the FFR versions as there is not space for 3. Or switch to something like a 3 in 1 Tilton as you did. Will give it a little thought. Will also mark strut distance to be sure of clearance. Much appreciated!
