Megane Reservoir conversion

[loggyboy]

I'm sure I read about this on here before, but cant find it on search or on google.
Principle being the meganes had a remote reservoir that moves it away from the M/C that's right next to the exhaust manifold.

Just after more GEN on what meganes to source from etc.

Tony Hunter Jay Payne will have the answer to this as they did the mod on their race car.

I think we got it from a mk1 megane 1.4/1.6 8 valve, I just cruised the local scrap yard till I found one. Its much easier to remove from the scrap car if the engine is out. Also got the bracket that holds resorvoir to the bulkhead. Pipes needed a very minor bend and a few mm cut off but its pretty much a straight fit

I think I recognise that engine bay. It's been a while.

Thanks for those. Are the link pipes metal with rubbers at each end? I'm just thinking how I would locate it around my P/S as I wont be (re)moving that.

 

[Jay Payne]

yes metal pipes

Might have to look into this myself, however I'll need a take off for clutch cylinder too, I guess it could be easily T'ed into though.

Helpful thread!

Or just run the clutch on a seperate reservoir?
