    iX booster questions

    I know many have asked about the iX booster stuff, but I did a lot of searching and still haven't found a solid answer to the remote reservoir problem.

    I know all the parts necessary. 1) 2002 reservoir 2) rubber / cloth braided lines 3) grommets for the M/C

    The question is, what elbows or L shaped fittings do I use? I'm referring to the fitting that connects the M/C to the reservoir lines. I've seen many iX / 735 remote booster setups but most of them don't say what L shaped fittings they used.

    Thanks!

      Also an option is the e32 740i or e34 540i elbows. It doesn't look like they are available as an individual part so usually just a junkyard part i guess. I used them on my setup and they worked great.

            IX MC and resevoir also work here. They are the same, or nearly identical.

            The e34 booster can also be used with spacer, or preferably without spacer, but needs the same rod modification (shortened in a sense)
            No more e30s for me.
