Bob,

next time I visit my plane I will make some location checks for the reservoir 
tank.
As you assume if located top of the tunnel it may prevent the erconomic use of
the brake lever (or not).
Anyway over the tunnel between the seats there is plenty of room for a tiny 
brake
fluid tank.
The hose between the tank and the brake lever cylinder could be a golden 
eye-catcher
itself... 

If I decide to go for reservoir, could you please supply me all the fittings (a
means 
> of plumbing)? Otherwise I have to consult with lathe man in this country.

With reservoirs our planes will be again enhanced to the next practical level.

so what? We need only a reservoir with one inch connection tube with those

male 37 degree AN style you mentioned. Do you think it looks awful there?
It is visible also in fine MCs also. A practical technic is also beautiful is
not it?
