The resevoir is fairly simple to find since they came on bugs up to 60 and I see them for sale on this site in the classifieds. You can get the repro rubber cap from BFY, Kochs, Wolfsburg West and many other places for under $5.
If you are going to run disc brakes, you might run the dual resevoir that has 2 seperate chambers for the dual relief master cylinder that will come with the disk brake kit. My buddy just did this conversion on his 55 oval. He mounted the new style resevoir hidden out of sight on a special bracket he built that clamps to the beam. He kept his stock resevoir in the stock location just to keep everything looking stock but it is no longer being used.
As for the disks, I would check out CB Performance. I believe they are close to you. They make front and rear set ups with 4 lug, 5 lug porsche and wide 5 lug.
