Here is a picture of some adapters I made to allow me to use a remote reservoir.

I bought the plastic reservoir from Classic performance parts, it was a rip off. Quite small, and definitely not worth over $20.

In the future I will use the aluminum rectangular reservoir found on most Chevy and GMC medium sized trucks, like a c60. The reservoir is bolted to the master cylinder, I will remove one and make an aluminum plate to bolt to the bottom with fittings for remote lines. Here is a picture.

When looking for a suitable rubber hose for brake fluid you must be 100% sure it is designed for, and compatible with, brake fluid. You don't want it to fall apart and clog your master, or spring a leak, or swell up and close the inside. The only place I have found such a hose is the blue rubber hose with braided blue cloth cover that is used by VW for remote reservoirs for brake and clutch. I have been told the exact same hose is sold for Volvo's too.
