Brake fluid reservoir

Wasn't this answered in the other thread you started with the same title?

https://www.speedsterowners.co...t-when-you-lift-hood

I think your clutch might be slipping, and I don't mean in your car....

This is at least the third time you brought this up, and the second thread. Didn’t you already remedy the issue?

Dude, we get it. You're unhappy with the car you received from Vintage Arizona.

You have two choices: 1) Fix it to your liking 2) Sell it

3) Whining like a b$%&h is NOT one of the options

.

Oh, no...

.

Shut up about the fluid reservoir. We already know you weren't sharp enough to find it.

Not to induce thread drift from this thrilling discussion, as I was rebuilding one of the original California IMs, you know with the hibachi grill, I decided that I LIKED the idea of having the reservoir on top of the master cylinder rather than the frunk. That's where I put it. On purpose.

As some of you know, if @ALB is all about putting holes in things, I'm all about making storage space for condiments and other useful things.

Perhaps another or additional hobby that keeps your mind off this and your fingers off the keyboard would be better for you.

Consider tying fishing flies or gardening or collecting venom from the snakes in Arizona for research purposes, or hunting for treasure in the Superstition Mountains.

I was here investment broker for a large national firm and we had a rule called  Rule FD. Full Disclosure

I believe when you buy a car for $35,000 you should have full disclosure of the car besides it being shiny..

I’m doing this because I don’t want anybody else to go through what I’ve gone through. Don’t buy the shine.

Is it asking too much do you have a schematic of a fuse system..there’s only six uses.

The driver side door doesn’t rattle at all why because it’s used. The passenger door rattles and rattles and cannot be adjusted anymore because of the location. The best mechanic in Phoenix , Competitive engineering has worked on hundreds of Porsches and VW

If you’re tired of my posts just don’t read them.

It appears nobody has responded to having a non-visible reservoir.

Yes one of my favorite musicals Is     MAN of La Mancha

Dan Lawson has 4,  356 which he is working on now besides A dozen VW AT COMPETITIVE ENGINEERING,PHOENIX

He knows my car very well light

we're not tired of your posts... we're tired of you, so have both of your brain cells hold hands and quit posting stupid stuff.

I wasn't going to get into this.

The guy's frustrated. If you pay your money and expect to get a perfect, ready to tour, car then you will likely be frustrated. I was!

I've owned four replicas; built one, traded for one, bought two. The one I was most pleased with was the car I built. I knew where everything was because I put it there.

I doubt that any maker (don't know) test their cars for several hundred miles to see that everything is working as it should. There will always be things to do and you will have to do them or pay someone. Good luck with that. In the end it will come down to learning to work on your prized plastic Porsche or selling it, out of frustration. Most Speedsters get sold with 500-3,000 miles on the odometer because, I suspect, owners were not have a real expatiation of what they were getting into.

Regardless of who built the car It's still a kit. If you're not mechanically inclined you really need another hobby.

40 years ago only the government and General Dynamic's had computers. No internet. No email. You were pretty much on your own. Parts came from the local NAPA.

Free advice is readily available HERE from knowledgeable owners and builders. Lots of prepurchase time spent here would likely have been a great benefit to you. Everyone here will gladly help. We don't tolerate whiners.

Now that you are where you are with the car you only have two options:

1. Sell it now while you can get most of your money back.

2. Work through the issues and enjoy your car. Expect many more challenges.

Best of luck! Really

P.S. my Spyder had the reservoir mounted to the mastercylinder.

Nobody has responded? Did you even read others posts? Here, I'll make it easy for you Don Quixote:

Millions of VW Bugs and their kin had the brake fluid reservoir on top of the master cylinder for many years until they decided to put hoses on it and put it in the trunk.

I'm with Jim above. More research should have been done by you, JPC, before you plunked your money down. Plenty of info has been available right here about all the manufacturers: the good, the bad, and the ugly. As I said before, fix it and be happy, or sell it.
