Anyone know of an existing lower profile GM brake MC reservoir or remote brake MC reservoir that will fit our Rivs to help with STB clearance? I know of some hot rod remote reservoirs that work with Corvette MCs. I wonder if the spacing where the reservoir fits the MC is the same as on our Rivs?

Mine was really close, but fit. But also would be interested if anyone managed a lower profile or remote one, just to give more room over there for "stuff"

Even with a big stack of washers on each side mine was still just barely clearing the MC and was causing the hood to bulge just a fuzz.

try sanding off the raised lettering on the resov. if a few washer dont do the trick.

It doesnt have to have much clearance since the bar and MC dont move. my bar touches but i can move the resov still and it has been fine for years now. I drive it hard too.
