There are many reservoir kits out there, CPP, scotts, speedway automotive, and a couple others make them also. Only depends on what look you want. Google it and check out the pics then decide. I am actually going to mount mine to the inside of the cab, up behind the dash to really hide it.

Re: What did you do ?new brake master cyl

I built my own brake MC/booster bracket and moved it back so the top clears the first raised cross brace. I then made a door above the MC lid. I fabbed my seat brackets so the original tilt feature works to gain access to the door and other stuff I will have under the seats (stereo stuff). If your seats are fixed then it will be a challenge, and a remote fill set up might be the way to go. I would be worried about the line cracking or breaking and compromising the brake system.

Re: What did you do ?new brake master cyl

I just crawl under the truck, pop the lid and use a squeeze bottle with a short plastic hose on it to fill the master cylinder. I guess a guy could glue a mirror to the floorboard so he could see the fluid level but I haven't gone that far yet.
