    Brake Reservoir Mount

    How important is it to have the reservoir above the master cylinder, Can't seem to find a place to mount it high enough? Any photos? The most of the reservoir is above the master cylinder, but the fitting is below and causes the hose to be above the master cylinders. Not sure what effect that would cause or even work.
    Anywhere I put it the fitting is still below the master cylinders.

    It doesn't seem to be too important. Mine seems to be working just fine. Make sure all your connections are tight. I think the design is just the masters "suck" the fluid they need through the top cap connections.

    Here is how I mounted mine.

    It is only important if you plan to gravity bleed the brakes. If you use a power bleeder no worries at all.

    As long as the fluid level in the reservoir is higher that the m/c you are actually above the needed level.
