Gents-

I opted to get a "snap in" brake reservoir to fit into my new dual master brake cylinder. You will see from the photos (maybe), that there is no way the reservoir will fit with the seals. So I removed seals and while I did not press in too hard, doesn't seem to fit in at all.

Do you know if EMPI or someone else makes one with smaller nipples to fit in?

Thanks,
Mark

This thread shows both types and which master cylinder they fit.

I did the same thing but I got the smaller one. Turned out to not be my fault as I ordered the correct one from Cip1. One reservoir has 13mm nipples and another has like 7.5mm. Their pic showed the thicker ones but they sent me the smaller. They fixed it though so its all good.

If you need the smaller I still have it, I'd be happy to send it to you.
