I am replacing my fuel tank. When I pulled the old tank out I was looking at the plumbing between the master cylinder and the brake reservoir. Should there be 4 pieces of hard line and 6 soft lines in that plumbing? It doesn't look right to me.
.
Does anyone have a picture of theirs?
Has anyone replaced the stock reservoir with the one that goes directly on the master cylinder? I saw this while ordering parts and was considering going this route. |

Found this picture.
I too am curious about a relocating the reservoir. Been wanting to bleed my recently rebuilt brakes to see how things work... But have to paint the car first. _________________ My 70 beetle was totaled Now to build the Ghia I always wanted. Rest in peace Ruby, I will miss you. Hello <insert Ghia name here>! |

And.... They are out of stock. 80% of my wish list is. So frustrating with CIP1. _________________ My 70 beetle was totaled Now to build the Ghia I always wanted. Rest in peace Ruby, I will miss you. Hello <insert Ghia name here>! |

Thanks!! Pictures of both options. Mine looks just like the top picture so I guess it is correct. It didn't look right to me. It looks a little cobbled together to me. I like the idea of the direct reservoir and I might try that. |

I’m doing a full brake job on my 1974 over the thanksgiving break. EIS had everything in stock, even the MC with reservoir attached. Arrived a few days ago. _________________ 1974 Ghia Coupe |

Are you using a proportioning valve, what type if you using a double master cylinder ? _________________ ----------------------

I don’t believe I need one with my stock setup of front disc rear drum on 1974.
My issue at present is a dragging backing plate on the driver front and I’m one more try away from just leaving it off. I also found out that is one of the places on the car that uses the rare M7 bolt. _________________ 1974 Ghia Coupe |

I doubt the reservoir in that location will accessible at all, even with the tire off. You want be able to see if fluid is in it, nor be able to get something in there to fill it. Doesnt make sense to me |

What you do is run a tube from that reservoir up to a location behind the radio
where you have a second res mounted. |
