    Remote Brake Reservior

     



    Anyone with a Model A. Where have you located your remote brake reservior. The under hood area in my car is pretty tight. Small block 350 with air. Thinking of other places but would like some input from you before I decide. It's a 29 Sedan by the way.

    I have to "assume" that you have a recessed firewall - that leaves a nice area for odds and ends like remote tanks.

    I had the Lokar dip stick on the other side, but changed to another type tho this photo still shows it

    Thanks IC2, yes I do have a recessed firewall. Mine is a smooth contoured shape, which would make it difficult to mount to.

    Then I would just make up a separate bracket shaped/ground to the contour. Even mine needed that separate bracket you see if for no other reason then to be able to wrap my hand around the top to open, though the real reason was to clear the corner of higher valve covers instead of those used when I originally built the car body up

    I guess i'll have to fab up a bracket to match the contour. I was thinking that maybe I could find a spot inside the car, but that's not going to work. Where are you in New Yawwk, I was born and raised in Schenectady.
