Hi
RCR GT40 build is progressing well, when I figure out how to downsize pics I will post some details. In the meantime I am working out precise location and fit of remote reservoirs. Trawling through the site they seem to come in a variety of shapes and sizes. So am I right in calculating a safe minimum capacity of reservoir as:
Total area of piston per caliper (Wilwood 6 pot F 4 pot rear) times (say) 3/8" (10mm) of pad wear times 2 (2 calipers), this will give total volume of extra fluid required? Done the same calculation seperately for front and rear to allow for two reservoirs. Whilst I check fluid levels frequently this seemed a good way to safely determine size.
The answers in ccm were
F 51.90
R 67.02
One of the reasons for asking is that I found these stunning little beauties Rizoma 'large' size fluid reservoir which have a capacity of 84.46ccm and I wanted to be sure they were OK
Thanks in eager anticipation
