    Where can I get a remote reservoir for the master cylinder on the frame to run it up the fire wall?? For 61 cj5 and 48 cj2a. The kit replaces the cap and runs a hose up firewall to a small reservoir to keep it topped off. Thanks Fdpwr2a

    AFAIK those kits have not been available in decades, you'll have to roll your own. :rolleyes:

    I bought a motorcycle reservoir off eBay for about seven bucks.

    It seems like a good idea, but more connections for leaks and room for pressure. I have a single reservoir with a good working system with no leaks and do not have to top off. The access cover is not that hard to remove and check the level and I have not had to add any fluid in over 5 years. Although when I first acquired mine I blew a brake line and a remote reservoir would have been convenient too bleed. I replaced the lines and will in the future add a dual reservoir for safety, but am not sure I will go remote. I have too many other upgrades for my priorities. Don't get me wrong ,STOPPING a motorized vehicle should be way up there on the priority list.

    I bought a remote unit from Summit or Jegs.
    Mounted it on the firewall, drilled and tapped my master cyl cap and installed a threaded barb fitting.
    Connected a hose and voila! No more going through floorboards to add brake fluid. It is not stock of course, but it looks pretty good.
