Clutch Reservoir

[j3st3r]

Saw a post on here I believe about running a separate clutch reservoir, thought it was a good idea so started another project!


If all goes well I might have 10 or so of these available with bracket, hardware, and the Wilwood reservoir

Have a few tweaks I want to make to the bracket, and then hopefully testing this at the track on March 28th!

This is a very good upgrade for our cars, especially if tracked or performance driven as it eliminates the black floaties in our brake system fluid.

Clutch dust is so fine, it does migrate past the seals on our new style T/O bearing and ends up in the Reservoir.

I installed a clutch fluid reservoir last fall and like the idea of having separate maintenance schedules for these fluids.

Next, I'll pick up a GT Automatic spec brake fluid reservoir with out the clutch line nipple so I can eliminate the rubber sleeve and clamp.

Good idea!
Dave

I went with the Shelby unit. A GT Auto reservoir will eventually go on my Boss also.

Awesome!
I'll definitely purchase one of these when you start making them. Keep us posted on the test!
Does it use any existing holes? Because I've avoided drilling body panels... so far :

No drilling required it uses existing holes, however the holes that it uses are the ones where the factory sound tube normally mounts to. I dont run the sound tube so it makes for an easy install

I'm interested in a separate clutch reservoir as well.

I mounted my clutch reservoir with a home made bracket using the sound tube holes on the fender as well. It works well and with the Wildwood reservoir it looks factory.

j3st3r,

Are you going to just make the bracket or put an entire kit together.

j3st3r:

That is a nice set up and I do like the brake fluid volume of your choice of reservoir. I picked up on this one from a fellow BMO member end of last year, but it has a smaller reservoir.

Here is couple of pics:



FRPP Stainless Steel clutch fluid line is shown below the clutch reservoir.



Good luck with your kit,

I will probably try and do a kit, minus the line, that way you can run braided, or whatever you want to run.

[j3st3r]

Finally made some progress on this...now just need to figure out what I need to do to connect to the factory connection

Add me to the list of those wanting the kit!
