Hi Mark, I think that Chris at JCG is (or was) using them on project blu balz (awesome car), and then made up his own custom ones...there are some pics in the thread linked below. Threaded adapters need to be made up, to mate the CV reservoir to the wilwood master, but it's not a huge deal.

CV also makes a three across "bar" to mate three of their reservoir tanks to three wilwood masters.

Well, I called up my nephew in Mooresville who works for a Nationwide team and he is going to send me three of the CV reservoirs.... So it looks like I am going to be replacing my masters now, LOL.

That mount on the firewall is a good idea Rob. Puts a liitle meat back in the firewall and those CV res. are very nice pieces, those will look / work perfect with your set up. Nice job.

Rob- I hope you don't mind..

I did the Wilwood M/C with my own reservoirs on a Chevelle I had here @ the shop.. Did the same thing you did on the plate for the pedals but machined mine with a 1/2 radius & wrapped it ..

The Wilwood M/C have a funny thread on them.. when first designed.. they were not thinking we would want threaded reservoirs on them.. Wilwood now offers them threaded with a fitting for a -3 flexline..

I have done C/V reservoirs on the a Wilwood M/C.. I chucked them on a lathe & machined the threads.. The reason I do my own reservoirs is because we properly vent them.. I did not really like the way C/V did theirs.. JUst my preference of doing thinks..


Hope this info. helps Rob..

Thanks Cris, that is good info, much appreciated! Your fab work is just beautiful. You mentioned that wilwood now sells them with a threaded female boss for the reservoir, do you happen to know if that thread size is the same as the male on the CV reservoirs?

[Cris@JCG]

The fitting that is included in a Wilwood threaded M/C is is specific to the thread on the M/C & then to a -3 AN male ..

If you want to fit CV's on the Wilwood M/C.. You will have to machine the thread to match the Wilwood M/C & make sure you use a EPR o-ring..

I have very little experience with Wilwood components.. I only worked their for 10 yrs!

Thanks Cris, looks like I will either do that or use the adapter made by CV.

Great updates. These reservoirs look awesome.
