Guy,
The Japanese cylinders i.e. Nabco, Tokico and Sankyo nearly always have
removable reservoirs, so they are the type that's used with the E23 Urvan
reservoir for an FJ20 conversion. Girlock cylinders can be used with remote
reservoirs but I'm not sure where you get the fitting from. I've seen a
remote Girlock setup on a small production car, could have been a Toyota but
it was a while ago. It's not something that I'd recommend for the 1600/FJ
especially as there are still heaps of Japanese cylinders and E23's about.
regards
Terry

Just a quick question.. Can these master cylinders be used with remote
resevoirs, e.g. with an FJ 20, I thinks mine is a 180b setup but i am
upgrading to rx7 front callipers so something larger would be good.
Regards
Guy
