Our Elva sports racer now had modern Wilwood master cylinders, but we still needed to mount the corresponding Wilwood remote fluid reservoirs.
To mount these reservoirs, we simply designed, built and welded a mounting pad on the frame for the Wilwood brackets. Obviously, we placed the reservoirs w…
Great project and great pictures. But..........
The closeup pictures illustrate the unit installation very well. However they do not give a clue as to where the component is mounted on the chassis. A good set of shots would consist of closeups of the component brackets, a step back for a reference to the general chassis location, and finally a panorama (within reason) of the chassis as a whole.
