Remote brake fluid reservoir
Hi
I have the standard ford sierra master brake cylinder,now the problem is that the reservoir from the master brake cylinder is to near to the steering
shaft.
So I want to use a remote brake fluid reservor that can connect to the master brake cylinder...where can I get something like that.
The reservoir needs a sensor for the amount off fluid in it...

Just pull the reservoir off and extend it with some rubber tubes, easy peasy...

I have the same problem except mine is the Throttle Bodies that are restricted by the reservoir. 
I am thinking of making up some metal tubes with 2 90 degree bends (left then right) to move the reservoir across by about 1 inch.
Summer's here!!!!

I have taken the reservoir off from the cylinder, was a easy job.
Now I have to measure the original fitting on the bottom from the reservoir and see if I can manufacture them from Alu to put a hose in between, It
seems the rubber grommet isn't damaged by taking the reservoir of.
Will measure the connector and make a cad drawing off it , to have it CNC machined.

Here is a cad drawing enjoy....
Left side is the connection on the masterbrake cylinder, the right is where the hose goes to your reservoir when you look at the intersection
