Has anyone seen the reservoir separated from the MC? How to they fit together?

 

makes sense you'd be able to seperate it somehow...but I think it's sold as one piece anyway.

 

reman units generally have it attached anyways.

 

you can pull them apart.

loosen the clamp and slide it off and install it on the new master cylinder.

 

So the reservoir is clamped onto the MC, and once the clamp is removed it will slide off? What does the opening in the MC look like?

I'm not trying to replace my MC or anything, I'm wondering what it would take to put a reservoir tank from another vehicle on the MC.

(You guys probably think I'm an idiot... )

 

If you're talking about an ITR MC, then there's no clamp. One screw holds the tab of the resevoir to the MC. Once you take the screw out, the resevoir just pulls off.



Yes, this one's broken...

 

Thanks for the pic. That helps a lot. I was hoping that the inside of the holes on the top of the MC were threaded, but it doesn't seem that way. I'll have to rethink my plans.

 

I just went through this. My MC resevoir was leaking. You can't just buy the resevoir; I was told I had to buy the whole MC.

Could you not just have bought a Tilton (or other aftermarket) unit? Not sure about fitment issues though.
