Aluminum Brake Fluid Reservior

Hi Guys,

I think we can all agree that the brake fluid reservoir presents somewhat of a mess.

With the help of a machinist friend I was able to design a container using 2.5" x 4" aluminum tubing, which allowed me to polish the container and really brighten up that area.

It was his idea to seat the O-ring into the top edge of the container and to knurl the edge of the cover (thanks Mike).

I bought this two-chamber reservoir online--they have ones with three chambers and perhaps more.
