    Size mismatch issue: M5 master cylinder w/2002tii fluid tank

    Hey I was wondering if any of you had run into this already... Doing an ix booster swap with an E34 M5 master cylinder and using an external brake fluid tank from a 2002tii. The 2002tii connector tubes that I purchased to run from the master to the tank are too small a diameter to fit into the grommets on top of the master cylinder. Described with pictures, the connector tubes (#14 below)



    are too small to fit into the grommets (#2 below)


    Does anyone know if there is a different version of connector tube that fits? Alternatively, can you use grommets from a 2002tii on an M5 or E32 master? I'm assuming the openings would be of different sizes.

    Any help is appreciated as I'm stuck at the moment on doing this job. Thanks-

      EDIT: Pay no attention to my original reply... I see now there were 2 sizes for the '02... The part number for the correct one is 34311121911. I was looking at the grommet that had a part number ending in 205.





      Hope this will help someone else out as well... Thanks for the info!
