Remote Reservoir Kit Only

The Wilwood Remote Reservoir Kit Only (MPN 260-7577) is a dedicated 4-ounce plastic master cylinder reservoir designed for remote-mount brake system applications where space or layout constraints make traditional integral reservoirs impractical. This kit provides the essential hydraulic fluid capacity needed for complete brake fluid circuits, making it an ideal solution for custom brake builds, race vehicles, and specialized off-road platforms where component positioning requires separation of the reservoir from the main master cylinder body.

The reservoir arrives complete with all necessary hardware for installation: high-quality fittings, closure cap, remote-mount bracket, and 30 inches of brake hose. The 4-ounce capacity is calibrated for single-circuit or compact dual-circuit brake systems common in lightweight vehicles and purpose-built platforms. Wilwood's plastic construction balances weight reduction with adequate fluid retention, while the included hose length accommodates typical firewall and frame routing without requiring additional cuts or extensions. The bracket system allows flexible positioning, critical for optimizing weight distribution and clearance around engine bay components.

This component serves builders and enthusiasts performing complete brake system upgrades on vehicles where OEM reservoir placement is incompatible with modified suspension geometry, turbo installations, or aftermarket frame tubing. Remote reservoir kits are essential for drag racing applications, tube-frame race cars, and heavily customized street vehicles. Users appreciate the modular design—the kit-only format allows integration with existing Wilwood master cylinders or third-party hydraulic components without redundant equipment.

At 0.72 pounds with compact dimensions (7.9 × 2.15 × 9.15 inches), the remote reservoir minimizes added weight and packaging footprint—important in high-performance contexts where every pound affects acceleration and handling. Brake system reliability depends on consistent fluid volume and heat dissipation; proper reservoir placement enabled by a remote kit helps prevent localized overheating and fluid aeration during sustained braking.
