And yet another option here-

Allows mounting using stock fender bolts location...

For what its worth, mounting a 67' reservoir to a 66' and earlier needs the hole egged out to fit the dual tubes going down, and the strap extended a bit that straps around the res.

Here is my setup on a 66 beetle. I'm using a 67 dual reservoir in the stock location. I had to open up the rear to accommodate the dual outlets
and I replace the stock hold down strap with a strip of 3/8" stainless steel
I used this part here. It's easy to get to, to fill.

What is this part and does anybody still sell it? For me, checking/filling the reservoir directly on top of the MC is my least favorite option. I am pretty sure I would prefer the stock bottle filling one of these, but if it can't easily be done any more than probably the CSP bracket with a late model reservoir. BTW, I have been unable to find a picture of the CSP bracket mounted. Anybody have one?

Thanks, Doug

That is a Bay Window bus reservoir. I got mine from Airkewld. I can post what years it's from when I get home(my notes are on my desk). You will need a couple of brass fittings and some hose that is compatible with brake fluid to make it work.

The reservoir from a `73-`79 Bus i used is part # 211-611-313 its available here:
http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D211%2D611%2D313%2DJ
or
http://www.airheadparts.com/vintage-vw-parts/brake...11313-j-oe
The picture of the one from Cip1 looks exactly like what I have. I looked on Airkewld.com and it appears that they no longer offer this piece. You will also need The brass fitting that oldgit referenced:
1: 9776T11 - 3/8 i.d.EPDM Hose or 9776T9 - Weather-Resistant Black EPDM Rubber Tubing
2: 91355K32 - Brass Barbed Hose Fitting Reducing Coupling for 3/8" X 1/4" Hose ID (They come in packs of 5)
I got the large diameter hose from my local Napa Autoparts store.I took the brass fitting and drilled out the small end a little bigger to fit the stock metal line inside the small end. Scuffed the paint off the stock metal line and fed in to the brass with the factory flare inside the big end of the brass; then had a local radiator shop solder it together.This is what i used: http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=113611805B I am using the stock reservoir under the hood: http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=113611301G and http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=113611801A to connect it together. Now I can use the metal line to have permenant bends around the the pan head and steering components with the rubber hose acting as flex joints. No pics to post of it yet.
Hope this helps anybody else trying to figure it all out.

Ok so I have a German master cylinder, and a Volvo type resevoir. They of course dont fit together. What year rabbits had the resevoir I need? And where could I find one?

Do you think the rubbing is because the hose is too large a diameter? If I were to use the stock metal line thru that area it would fit better? I'm finally got all the parts sitting on the shelf in the garage and will working on this project in the next couple of weeks.

yes it seems the hose is too large in diameter. If there is room to use the steel line in that area it would be better. I dont have much time for trial and error right now as I am moving o China for a year for work.
