      Clutch Reservoir

      OK, I've recently converted over to a hydraulic clutch on my 69 Camaro. Went with the Keisler kit. I am at the point that I need to install the clutch reservoir. However, I hate the thought of installing that ugly plastic cup on my smoothed firewall.

      First question, has anyone here installed a billet or chrome reservoir? I've found a couple of potential reservoirs for motorcycles and ATVs, but was wondering what you folks have done.

      Second question, is there any reason why I couldn't tap into the brake reservoir and run a line down to the clutch cylinder? I'm currently running an ABC electric high-power setup (10-36). Would the brake reservoir have enough fluid to handle braking and clutching?

      Update from ABS Power Brakes

      The shop (American Muscle Cars) talked to ABS Power Brakes and they said it shouldn't be a problem tapping into the brake reservoir for the clutch. AMC recommended using the back reservoir so that if there was ever a problem, I wouldn't lose the front brakes.

      I went with the billet CV products units. Very nice, top quality, and proven products.

      Not a great picture but:

      Mr. Chicane knows of what he speaks.... it's a Tilton 900 series firewall mount pedal assembly with Tilton 77 series master cylinders.
