Remote Brake Reservoir Location?

[todds112]

I want to get one of the kits to mount a remote reservoir. Curious where you that have them, have them mounted. As always, pics are awesome.

I put mine on the firewall where I can drop the side cover and have a look.

I know some mount them in the cab. I didn't to deal with filling it in my cab and making a mess. I mounted mine on the firewall to the right of the steering colum. Easy enough to flip down the engine side cover to check it. I'll get a pic tomorrow.

 

[todds112]

That's perfect. I was wondering if it would fit in there with the heater.

Just be careful drilling the holes. It's kinda a guessing game but there are 2 holes in the bracket that holds the reservoir to the cab. I had to straddle a support gusset that divides the cab vent pocket from the interior of the truck.

On the back wall of the cab, even with the gap between the driver and passenger seats. Easy to peek through the gap to check the level and easy to fill with the passenger seat folded.

Right next to the driver seat, in-between the seat back and the side that meets the door, the curved part. Just enough room there for it and I see the level every time I get in the truck, part of my SOP now.

[dslucas]

I have mine on the rear cab wall behind the driver's seat so that I can check it quickly every time I hop in the cab. I posted a picture in it's own thread.

I put mine on the firewall on the driver side.

I put mine on the firewall,
Built a manifold for the top of the mc cap for power bleeding
Capability.

 

[LowTech]

Rayzer - is that for the remote, or for the mc where the remote ties in?

That was a good idea to add the manifold for power bleeder!!!

 

[welldigger]

I did on mine. I can set my bleeder on my fender and never mess with that stupid trap door.
