Thanks Terry, I guess I will end up just using the Urvan unit. I should have got it when I was getting the parts off the master cylinder but didn't think to and bought the R30 reservoir instead. Actually it was an auto Urvan so the reservoir would only have two ports! My main concern about the master cylinder with no booster is whether it would bolt on - I've seen a few different patterns for mounting of cylinders. Some go vertical some go horizontal in the bolts..
I have another question about a non-standard horn relay and brake lights but I'll try and sort it out myself first! zac ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 6:01 PM Subject: RE: remote reservoir > Zac, > > Common remote reservoir to use is from an Urvan - it runs dual master and > also clutch so I'm not sure whether it's what you're after, but you should > be able to bloke off the clutch outlet if you don't need to use it.
