If you use a Sierra reservoir, I can send you the drawing of the support so you can print your own stencil if you want.

Cheers.
I could use those drawings myself

Yes. It could seem hard, but that's the way.

Thanks
Yes. The only problem is the inlets in the M/C have a 12mm (or 1/2'') diameter, and the larger low pressure brake fluid hose I found has a 10mm diameter. You will need 12-10 reducer connector like this one in acetal, or this one in brass.

Personally, I ended up using the acetal ones, the first barb is bigger than on the brass ones, and it looks more secure.

Hiya, just wanted to check (and sorry if this is hijacking the thread) - does the 10mm hose fit OK on the 12mm reservoir outlets, or did you get a special reservoir with 10mm outlets as well?

Hi,

I could force-fit the 10mm hose on the 12mm outlets of the Sierra brake fluid reservoir. secured with clamps.

Sylvain, this solution using the Sierra MC looks excellent! Do you mind pm-ing the drawing for the mount to me too?

Never spotted this thread, but it's very useful.

Regarding the rear line. It should be split at the rear as has been show, there is no advantage at all putting the T up front, it increases the complexity, cost, chance of failure, fluid quantity required, impedes bleading, etc...
