Title: Noob question - must the brake / clutch fluid reservoirs be mounted high? Post by: slowkitty on March 14, 2012, 07:15:44 PM Can it be mounted lower than the master cylinders? All pics seem to show high - gravity feed?

Post by: slowkitty on March 14, 2012, 07:48:28 PM Thanks, but will there be a problem in feeding the system if mounted lower than the master cylinders? I have always assumed that the fluids are gravity fed.
