Default Rigid strut tower bar won't fit???

I have a Rigid front strut tower bar. the Triangulated one that bolts to the firewall but i can't mount it up. the bar hits the brake mastercylinder. This bar was previously installed in my EG with ITR master and booster and it just barely fit.

Is there a smaller mastercylinder reservouir available. i know that there's some way to mount this.as i seen this bar on ITR's before

I know some people used to dremel very lightly on the reservoir cap. Obviously just a mm or two, don't go all the way through and be careful. Or you could fab a spacer for the shock tower bolts so it sits a bit higher.

proper way for make it work is to flip the MC res around.

only one bolt on the bottom, take it out reservoir pulls up(make sure you empty it first!!) turn it around and put it back in place, put the bolt back in and bleed your brakes, bolt your bar on and hit the turns GL hope that helped




kinda see in the pic what I mean
