Raimo,
And I will dig up the reservoir I have to see what type of hardware will be
necessary
to connect it to the filling opening of the brake master cylinder. I'm sure it
will need
a fitting to be added to the reservoir which will allow connection to a length
of hose.
Then there will be another fitting required which would connect to a hose and to
the
reservoir. I see the primary problem being the fitting connecting the hose to
the
master cylinder. The plug to the master cylinder has straight threads and seals
against an "O" ring. We would need a similar arrangement on any fitting.
Also, we must determine if the plug must be installed for the braking action to
work.
It seems that in my work with the brake that it is not necessary, but this must
be
confirmed. As a previous poster has indicated, it may be necessary for a check
valve to be installed in the line between the reservoir and master cylinder.

male 37 degree AN style you mentioned. Do you think it looks awful there?
It is visible also in fine MCs also. A practical technic is also beautiful
is not it?
