Our plan had been to use those aluminum reservoirs. I knew we were going to be limited for space trying to clear that firewall pinch weld but I thought we'd get by by making a small notch in it. After recessing the cylinders further back into the firewall we now were going to have to mount the reservoirs remotely instead of directly on top of the cylinders.
Spence ordered 3 clamping brackets. - One for each reservoir.
I cut a solid chunk of steel to mount the 3 clamps next to each other and drilled & tapped it so we wouldn't have to mess with nuts behind the firewall when attaching or removing the reservoirs. The bar I made would also act as a spacer so the reservoirs wouldn't be so close to the firewall and now clear that pinch weld. Obviously, the bar would be welded to the firewall and add even more sturdiness to it.
