Video 24 refers to next video 25 for relocating the brake fluid reservoir. Anyone have information on this?
Andy, can you provide some pictures and part numbers?I ended up using AN fittings and brake lines for these connections. Worked much better for me. I had issues finding good hose that wouldn't leak at the clamp connections, or wouldn't seep brake fluid. Note, most rubber hose is not brake fluid compatible, and will get eaten through by it. DF suggests using some of the nylon hose that came with the kit. The same hose used to extend the brake booster vacuum line. I eventually bit the bullet, paid some money, and bought some good pre-made AN brake hoses and fittings. Well worth it! Nice and secure piece of mind.
Sorry I didn't snap any pics of it, and I would have to go dig up part numbers on what was used. It is simply NPT to AN fittings, and then AN by AN brake hoses.Andy, can you provide some pictures and part numbers?
Ugh, no eye candy.Sorry I didn't snap any pics of it, and I would have to go dig up part numbers on what was used. It is simply NPT to AN fittings, and then AN by AN brake hoses.
Sorry. :-( ...and at this point it is covered with the footwell cover and the hood...or else I would snap some.Ugh, no eye candy.
Finally finished the remote tank installation. See picture. Now wondering what that plastic barb on the top of the tank near the cap is (or was) for? Looks like some kind of vent?
It is plugged at the base. I cut mine off flush with the resevoir tank. People kept telling me I was missing a hose... now they don't.Finally finished the remote tank installation. See picture.

Dosent air have to enter there as the brake pads wear and the calipers move out? Most master cylinders have a vented cap for this. It appears chevy wanted filtered air to enter on these cars.It is plugged at the base. I cut mine off flush with the resevoir tank. People kept telling me I was missing a hose... now they don't.
The molded plastic is blocked at the bottom. Any attached hose wouldn't let air in, unless you drill it out.Dosent air have to enter there as the brake pads wear and the calipers move out? Most master cylinders have a vented cap for this. It appears chevy wanted filtered air to enter on these cars.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A DONER CAR WITH THIS HOSE STILL ATTACHED? I'm curious when it went!
If the block at the bottom is punctured a port is thereby created via which pressure bleeding of the system can be performed.The molded plastic is blocked at the bottom. Any attached hose wouldn't let air in, unless you drill it out.
