I got the adapter for the master cylinder with the brass 90’s but how do I attach the hoses to the reservoir?
I am not sure what the question really is here. The reservoir also has a machined aluminum piece that it sits into, then it has some brass 90's on it as well, and you hook it all together with some hose. Did you not get the brake reservoir remote mount maybe? I know at one point DF was waiting for a batch of them from the machine shop.I got the adapter for the master cylinder with the brass 90’s but how do I attach the hoses to the reservoir?
They are supplied by DF. It’s some of that black plastic hard line. There should be adaptors for the res and master too. Some people upgrade to braided flex line.What did people use for the lines from the res to master?
As with many others, I didn't like the hoses on the master brake cylinder going to the reservoir, so I had to upgrade... well I didn't have to... you all know how it goes.

Sure, I ordered them from Summit Racing. The part numbers are as follows:
VPE-10251A from Vibrant
Fitting, Adapter, 90 Degree, Male -4 AN to Male 1/8 in. NPT, Aluminum, Black Anodized, Each
(Mfr. #: 10251A)
VPE-11351 from Vibrant
-4AN to 1/8"NPT Male Swivel 90 Degree Adapter Fitting
(Mfr. #: 11351)
RUS-659020 from Russell
Brake Line, Competition, Braided Stainless Steel, 18 in. Length, -4 AN Female, -4 AN Female, Each
(Mfr. #: 659020)
At first I thought the 18 inches lines were going to be too short, but they are perfect. The fittings on the reservoir will swivel, but you don't have to go that way if you can get the non-swivel pointed in the right direction.
THIS!! exactly what i did when I found that my clutch line naturally bent upward. ( before the footwell cover was added)... a trick to that is to release and hold the reservoir up higher to straighten out the lines, which will move any air upward and out the top.
