Sizing of brake/clutch reservoirs

[jkaylegian]

Hi all,

 

I would really like to move from the remote mounted reservoirs to direct mount or integrated but want to be sure I’m not shorting the amount of fluid I need. Will something like the attached photo (1.5 oz.) be sufficient? It’s a 2004 Birkin S3. 
 

if not what compact direct mount options have you had success with?

Yep should be fine, just match the piston bore size and you will be OK.

If what you have on the car now is wilwood, a replacement should include two sizes of reservoir along with the parts for remote or direct mount. This assumes master above the pedals but I have seen birkins with floor mount that should have remote reservoirs. A smaller reservoir for brake circuits means checking the level more often and keeping it topped off, and opening the bleeder to remove fluid when seating the piston for new pads to avoid a mess at the master.
