I recall someone saying that Fortes may have a couple.

I recently went looking for a triple after changing to a hydraulic clutch. I scoured the internet. Lots of places have them listed, but out of stock. You will do yourself a favor by calling.
I found a place that had a few triples, but no doubles. They had 8 about 3 months ago. I have already sent a couple people that way.

My double is probably on another FFR by now. Sold it.
There is one that is the same basic shape, but has a modern logo on the front that I did't care for.

Good luck.

Thanks Papa. I was on the phone with Forte yesterday. I think that the Scott's Hot Rods might be my next best option.

I had called Forte today inquiring about their CNC triple remote reservoir and they shared the same thing. Sounds like they're now offering two new options. I've included the pics they sent me today for consideration. Dumb question, does it matter the reservoir capacity is smaller for the Scott's Hot Rods version vs. the CNC or Jamar. This wouldn't affect the fluid in the system, I don't believe, but certainly from a reserve capacity. Are there trade-offs in going with a smaller capacity reservoir?

The CNC reservoirs aren't just no longer made. The company shut down. Reservoirs, hydraulic cylinders, etc. all subject to whatever vendors have left on their shelves.

I ordered the Scott's Hotrods dual reservoir that Papa recommended. I got the black anodized version for $155.90 shipped.
This is just my novice theory, so I hope more knowledgeable persons will correct me if I'm wrong. The purpose of the reserve capacity is to provide more fluid into the system as the brake pads wear and the pistons in the caliper push out. In a Toyota Camry where the brake fluid may not get topped off for 50k miles, it is important to have more capacity. In our cars where we are more particular about checking things, a small capacity is acceptable.

Try Summit Racing because they've got some nice options:

Yup CNC closed their doors and are no longer in business. I think the closest to the CNC are the X Jamar, I know they are black with a logo on the front but looks good to me, and they hold a little more fluid then the others named above.
Here is 3 on a BDR.
