I snagged one off an early 90s Accord, 90-94?. Bolts to the brake reservoir bracket.

Here is the reservoir. It will sit there just fine. Just need to make a mount. Really should be no big a deal. Just a bracket coming off the Brake reservoir mount.

Tilton three chamber, no leaks, a thing of beauty. Push on or AN fittings, not sure why people use anything else, except being CSOBs.

Do it right do it once never look back.

In my case do it right, do it three times because you don't like the first result, only to end up pretty close to what you started with, minus the significant time you spent to re-invent the wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Okay Clutch MC reservoir is in place. I used a Wildwood remote one as well Bob. Just keeping it simple. It's solid & in a great spot. No clearance problems. I did add fluid to find I didn't have my line tight down below. SO it all leaked out on my floor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Kitty litter to the rescue

Found my line on the clutch MC wasn't tight. Think I knocked it loose trying to finagle it in with all the brake MC in place. It is super tight up there. Finally got smart & just took the brake MC lines off that were in the way. Oh so much better. Although the nut on the top of the clutch MC fell down inside my car. Somehow manage to get under the brake pedal cluster. Couldn't get it out so had to take the nuts off the brake MC. Pull that up & get the offending nut. You know what? With the plate for the Clutch MC. It is a serious Samuel L Jackson to get the pedal cluster lined up & back through the plate. Not to mention the MC all by yourself. After being ready to break shit I just dropped my tools & left the garage. I'm better off screwing around with it this weekend. Getting a buddy to come over & feed the pedal cluster bolts through while I am below.

Finally got one of my scouts over to help me get my pedal cluster pushed back through. So both clutch & brake MC bolted in place. About lost my $hit trying to get my pedal cluster seated right & then go back under the car to get the bolts on. With the extra plate down there the bolts just didn't want to feed through without pressure on top while I put the nuts on. This weekend I will get them both bled.

Next is to put a heater core in the fresh air box I just got (Thanks Garold). Just need to figure out a good heater core that fits. Not putting my gas tank back in until I have that squared away. Was hoping to fire it up this weekend but at the rate I am going. I'll probably be screwing with that fresh air box heater core. Been so damn long not like another week is going to kill me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I’m interested in doing the same thing on Grey Matter. I’ll be watching for updates. I was going to try a heater core from the original Mini’s. They are teeny-tiny and cheap!

Hood off, wratchet strap and ceiling joist and 30 mins and you can pull it yourself if it's empty... Just saying (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Same process but a pair of vice grips on each end. Very quick and easy to pull. C'mon Jamie. Get that thing a rolling! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Was out trying to bleed my clutch MC last night. Picked up one of the hand vacuum bleeders. Even had the wife out to pump the pedal some. Just didn't get much of anywhere. Pedal won't return all the way. In back watching the clutch move it doesn't move much. Figured I need to extend my MC bolt so it will engage. I had finally found a longer clevis joint. Not long enough as I need about another inch of length. Going to get a deep nut with a stud & give that a while Nut

Jamie, after you confirm that the long nut (aka rod socket nut or coupling nut) PM me with the length of the rod that you need and I'll make you one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I had to do this as well. Also note that the power bleeders are pretty much the only way to get them bled. The vaccum bleeders dont seem to do anything in my experience. I found it needed to cycle the pedal while it was bleeding with the power bleeder to really get it going and its taken me about 4 times. Im sure I still have air in it though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Jamie its been awhile, I keep getting out of the 914 business and somehow one keeps following me back home! Your car looks beautiful, looks like you’ve came a long ways on this Suby implant, looking great! I’m still in Eugene, I suppose your still up by Corvallis off I-5. If you need some help let me know. Let’s get together sometime. Later Roy

Here was my solution of extending my clevis joint so it was long enough. Still adjusting back & forth trying to get the right length. Gave up on it tonight. Such a tight spot to changing things. I put it on & off multiple times. It is really close but I couldn't quite get the locking pin through. Figured if I let it go tonight it will go on easier tomorrow night
