Brake Master cylinder extension 'remote' reservoir - what do u guys use? or do you?

How many of you use those adapters to extend your under-cab brake MC reservoir up to the firewall.

I saw Ogre had one (i think)

any brands / experience / links?

looking for an easy way to NOT have to hack a hole in my floor for access.

thanks

this is the exact product i was thinkin of buying because it seems i can use my traditional corvette-style MC instead of buying a new MC with a screw-in type plastic reservoir



your thoughts??

I used the VW one a long time ago, drilled and tapped the MC on the side, only problem is if you need to replace the MC you have to rebuild it or do it over again.

your lucky that you used a corvette style mc, when i searched for remote reservoir for my truck all i could find is corvette style.
lots of vendors have them, but most are billet aluminum.
nothing wrong with billet, i'm just didn't use any billet or chrome on truk
i ended up using a nissan quest remote reservoir for my mustang mc



yes, i know... got to get rid of those chrome valve covers
