3G Brake Reservoir Mod to accept Clutch Feed line.

[miguelmcv]

Hey guys, I did this Mod 3 Months ago and till now, this is holding on.

I didn't want to share it before because I didn't even know how it was going to come up.

Now 3 months later it still holding like a chap,, So I think it's time to share it.


First of all,
I cut off one nipple of the 2g reservoir and left a little meet around the nipple.
Then I drill a hole on the 3g reservoir,
I then heat up the 2g nipple and the 3g reservoir (around the hole area) and put the nipple on the reservoir, while the plastic was melted, I used a tool to smooth the nipple (meet around the nipple) against the 3g reservoir (around the hole area).
Here are some pics of the process.

Like you see on the pics, it blend very well.

I let it dry and tested to see if it will hold, I try to take the nipple off the reservoir adding force with my hands and this them thing didn't moved at all, I can even see the rest of the reservoir to bend instead the nipple to come off.

So like always, (Better save then sorry), I bought some Flexible Epoxy to add to it,. this is not meant to help the nipple to hold on place, This is to prevent any leaks (IF there were).

Here is a pic of the product.

Here is how it looks with the Epoxy.

That is a really great idea, looks alot better than two reservoirs. Perhaps someone can make an aluminum one too.

What tool did you use to melt the plastic?

I know this has nothing to do with the post but your engine bay makes me happy. Thats true inspirtation right there. (alas, one day)

Very similar to the stock EVO VIII setup, kudos for thinking of this, one less random object clattering the engine bay!

Thanks guys,

Yes, the evo has the clutch nipple, But the nipple is on the opposite side, so we can't us it, That's why I did this one,, However, the Evo reservoir was my inspiration

What tool did you use to melt the plastic?

I used a heat gun to melted, You just have to be careful not to over heated, other wise, you will end up with a hole on the reservoir.

Thanks bro,

I'm kind of perfectionist and I think my engine bay reflects that.
