Hi

Did you progress with this? I’m looking at doing the same to get the reservoir away from the hot exhaust.

I use a clio v6 remote reservoir on my Trophy. The bottle is an ATE one shared with bmw and angled plastic fittings that fit in the top of the master cylinder joined by rubber brake fluid resistant pipe. The ATE bottle is easily available and renault level sensor fits straight in, however if your using normal cable clutch you will need to block off the feed for the hydraulic clutch. Other option is to use a universal reservoir, shoudl be able to ick up the plastic push in fittings up ok.

Hello mate. I used the fittings that came with the car..measure up what you need and from what i recall universal adaptors for the master to push fir are easy to find.

Something like that I'm guessing? Will measure up later. Can you remember what size hose was needed for the ATE reservoir? 9mm?

I have no idea now being honest as done it years ago. Was a common size so could have been 9mm, measure the tails to check.
