I have some ideas and questions I'd like to kick around concerning the replacing of the OEM fluid reservoirs. Too start, I picked up one of these to replace the undersaet rear brake fluid reservoir. Cool, hey? I will get some of that stuff---think they call it "tygon tubing" to run a line to the mastercylinder you see at the lower right in the pic.
First question: Will this work the same as the underseat reservoir would? This aftermarket reservoir is about the same size as the OEM reservoir. It will be located a bit lower than the underseat positioning of the OEM reservoir and the tube to the MC will be shorter. There will be a bit less fluid in the system because the tube will be shorter and possibly thinner ID. I am wondering if the higher reservoir with larger volume of fluid will make a significant difference in flow of the fluid from the reservoir to the rest of the rear brake system.
