Aftermarket brake reserviour and clutch bottle and caps

[jpmxrider489]

I been looking at the pics on here and seeing if they have a aftermarket bottle and caps for the brake resiviour and clutch bottle. Ive read that people paint them. I also seen some aftermarket caps but cant find where they sell them. If anyone can tell me where to get a aftermaket bottle or caps please help me out. Im just looking for something to clean up the bay.

Frontline Fab offers a fabricated aluminum resovoir. It's the only aftermarket one that I'm aware of.

Just looked on there website and can't find it. Paul do you have a link? I guess I'll have to pm some guys and see where they got there's.

There was a thread about them on the Link forums, but I can't find it now. It's probably best to send Andrew an e-mail about them. Although I think they've been unofficially backordered for a while now.

Wait one... I know where its at on Link.

Found it! This is both for the clutch and brake fluid.

Looks good and expensive. I really didnt plan on spending 100+ for it. I was hoping somebody would know of a POS ebay company. Im not wanting something fance just something different.

I bought one. They run around $150 shipped. It's a nice piece but I really wish it came with everything necessary for installation. You only get the reservoir and Ebay cap.

I have chrome Hayame caps on all of my reservoirs (brake, clutch, coolant). Not sure if you can still find them though.

Hayame is very hard to find. I luckily bought a set of chrome radiator brackets for my 2g off Ebay. They were like $15 shipped brand new. Such a STEAL! So rare too.

What was it missing?

I know I'd prefer to plumb it on my own if that's the only other part needed for installation.

Yeah the actual lines to run to the reservoir. It'd be nice if it included everything instead of sourcing fittings and lines.

I have got some Hayame stuff on my car. I got the brake fluid cap, rad brackets and fusebox cover. I picked it all up from 4CarOption :: Under Maintenance . Not sure if they still carry all these items.

Edit. Some Hayame items like the rad brackets are on the site cheap. REMEMBER TO ORDER 2 OF THEM!!!!

 

[jpmxrider489]

Did a quick search for them and no luck. It be nice to find a place that still sells them. I found the rad bracket at a few places. Brian how much did the caps cost? Can you post a pic of your bay?

 

[snowborder714]

They came with the car actually, but I remember them being pricey when I looked them up after buying the car. I think at one point some of the caps were $50+ a piece.

See my gallery for some engine bay pics.

 

[jpmxrider489]

I found them for a honda, anyone know if that fits?

Here's what they look like... Brian's engine bay is top secret.

My buddy owns THIS CAR below and has those chrome caps somewhere in storage, he tried giving them to me and I refused. I'll send him a text quick and see if he knows where they are and, if he does, I'll have him contact you. Don't get your hopes up though...

That would be great if you can help me out with that. Just wondering, what made you say no?

I seem to find them for the honda pretty easy, anyone know if thell fit? I cant find the clutch cap at all? If anyone has and exact name or anything would be great for that.

Ok, my brake fluid cap is the honda "large" cap. It was a little too big. The hex screws that hold the cap on didn't touch the OEM white cap at all. I "made" it work by using velcro squares to hold it on. It does look the same as the ones above just slightly bigger.

Do you see anything polished in his engine bay?


Honestly, I kind of find them tacky looking and have been debating on removing them. They stick out like a sore thumb in my bay. I just have more important stuff to worry about at the moment.

They also make a medium cap. I was wondering that as well.

I also see the power steering cap is hayame as well.

I saw brians in his pics on here. Wasnt to top secret.

Ill take them off your hands.

I don't like shiny objects and, like Brian already mentioned, I felt they looked a bit tacky but I find all under hood polished parts are tacky so that's just my opinion.

He said they may still be out in his garage, he'd have to look. To put that in perspective though, I have a hard time finding a 10/12/14/17mm socket in his garage and he has a few socket sets of his own and his garage has eaten a few of mine, too. It maybe next to impossible to find them, unfortunately.

I have an auto so I don't need the clutch cap, but that power steering cap is nice. I am gonna try to find me one of them.... Sigh.... Another endless search for non-performance parts

Just let me know if he finds them. Oh, My garage seems to eat my tools as well. I dont know how I can loose crap all the time. I even baught a nice tool chest and still lose them.
