Considering that I had a new master cylinder and all new calipers I thought I should get a new reservoir. Especially when there was 38 years of residue inside my master cylinder reservoir. Low and behold the part is still available.

Here is the problem the new reservoir did not come with the short (3 inch) flex lines. What can I use for these that is compatible with brake fluid.

Auto Atlanta has the hose

R99918102150 - Replacement/OEM

There is a comedian in every bunch

They still have some? I thought they gave the hose to everybody!

BTW, the nice guys at GPR carry it, too, and they're our friends .........................

That clear plastic line for overflow ? I read from someones build thread was to go to Petsmart or your favorite pet supply store and use the clear pvc for air in the aquariums, thats what I did fits just right, but it wasnt a 3 inch, more like 2-3 feet needed.

Not the 1/8 line but the two nipples on the left that go down to master cylinder

I will check GPR

Thanks

Any bug shop has the brake line hose.

Just a heads up. With the overflow you can't pressure bleed. You may want to plug it, because really, do you need an overflow?

You can probably find it locally, but if you can't I'll snip off a couple of pieces and drop them in an envelope.

Where did you get the reservoir?

I got it from Stoddards for $43.00

Racerchris is sending me a short section

I would plug that vent hole. Why let moisture into your brake fluid.

This is the VW brake line that I used:
