Remote reservior with warning switch?
Right. So I "need" a brake warning switch to comply with ridiculous nanny state local laws we have. I installed one of these...
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230545265530?ul_noapp=true
But the fluid leaked around the plastic fittings in the rubber bungs. I need a better solution.
Does anyone have an OEM option that would replace a regular VW style twin circuit reservior? I've found a couple of weird things like 99' renault
megane and 99-05' ford focus. But they don't seem to be easily found down here in Australia. Other ideas? I'm getting sick of this and just want to
finish the damn car. (In truth I'd sell it today).

the factory warnings lights are for the pressure side. .
Pete that must be new regulation. Did you mount the reservoir remotely or on top of the MC?

Remotely. Been a pain recently. I'm picking up another one, I'll post some pics. Hopefully this is a lot better for $220. Ouch...

Pete try the brake specialists or workshops,I used one from a Galant or similar from an old master cylinder, it had a float switch inside and it was a
matter of wiring to suit.I may have another reservoir but will have to check.

The RMS made me fit huge reservoirs because Im running 4 spot brakes, they were worried if I ran out of brakes pads I could also run out of brake
fluid. You just have to play their game

A thin smear of Silastic might seal it all up
