Good Evening All

I’ve just upgraded my brake booster and master from original VK Berlina to a VT setup.

The issues I have is the reservoir.

The VT master reservoir is tilted poorly - is there another reservoir that will fit on that will fix this?

Also I have a new master cylinder for the original set up that is slanted for the correct tilt. Will this work?

Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

@gtrboyy you might know this one perhaps?

Cheers

I re-flared the lines on my VN when I did it, PITA job to do but looked good in the end.
Swapped vt m/cyl booster over 6pm at night in less than 1hr...regret the rush job everytime see half empty vt reservoir or brake adaptors lol

It's on list of **** need to be redone on vp ute.

The other issue is the retaining hole needs to be re-drilled in the new VS/AU reservoir to correctly locate on the VT master cylinder body.

Agree, every time I open my bonnet on my VK the line adaptors look like dogs balls, but put up with it as it stops now.

That is a beautiful engine bay. I bet you do some “sipping beer while staring at it” a lot. I bloody would.
