No noticeable delay in braking to lights on
Oh and I separated the reservoir from my m/c ( mx5) and remotely mounted it on the o/s top rail made bleeding the brakes a dawdle after trying allmanner of things previously ( pictures in my build thread)

I'm going to do that setup for my clutch now as finding the correct tread size is proving more hassle than it's worth. I too was planning to place the reservoir high, interested how you did it, I was thinking some barbed connectors to 8mm fuel pipe, any thoughts?

Will let you know but will be a while as need to order the flexi's once all the coppers in.

Yes that's what I used barbed connectors and flexi pipe to the reservoir
Yes it was a strange thread on the clutch m/c I think it was std on the slave but the rally design one on the bulkhead was something like 7/16
Will have a look and see if I still have the sizes of the phone but will see if I can pop a pic up later

A picture would be apreciated, ordered what I need, I think, so I can get the copper in. No doubt I will have forgotten something or brought the wrong size of something, only thing I haven't got is the bulkhead fittings for the flexi's as I assume they depend on the flexi's and I haven't really researched them yet

[garyt]

ok hopefully here are a few pics of trials n tribulations

[garyt]

the last one shows the first try and I tried just about every method of bleeding the brakes and nothing grrrr went remote and bingo so much easier when the reservoir is higher than the calipers I don't have a pic of the reservoir position but will get one at the garage tonight

Thanks for that, defiantly going remote now. I have noticed that you clutch and slave is connected with copper, is that ok as I was going to go flexi?

[garyt]

Yes no problems with the clutch side although I left a coil in the pipe to give a little spring the movement at the bottom of the engine box is negligible
