From: 923TE <923te@att.net> Anyone added a brake reservoir on the engine side of the firewall on your 4 place Grumman? I'm tired of adding brake fluid while standing on my head! I'm thinking that flex hoses screwed into the stock reservoirs routed to a reservoir on the firewall could work. Right or wrong?

But the cylinders are not reservoir ones like on the Grumman. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:50:11 PM PST US Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Brake Reservoir Relocated?
