    Help me find a cheap clutch fluid reservoir

    I just purchased a '91 318i with a 24v swap 90% done. The P.O. used an iX (I think) power brake booster and included a remote brake fluid reservoir, but it has no provision for the clutch. Does anyone have suggestion for a cheap, clutch only fluid reservoir. I'm considering just making one...

    If you take the spacer off of the back of the booster and adjust the rod (not too difficult) you'll be able to use the stock ix res, which has clutch provision and is cleaner IMO without need for 2 remote res' :)

    Just a thought

      Ditch the reservoir you have and install a remote reservoir from a BMW 2002.

        That would be a pain.

            Interesting. I ordered the 2002 reservoir because it was $20 at pelican.
