My new remote reservoir. #214370 08/23/2006 10:20 PM

I was planning on using the reservoir from the back end of a motorcycle, but the bike salvadge guy wants $60.00. He won't split up the parts. So, I was at Harbor Freight and I noticed that their touchup gun has a nice aluminum bottle with an air tight cover. Thw whole gun was only $19 so I bought it. That bottle will look sweet hanging from my firewall, and I will check the fluid more often seeing as I don't have to lift the rubber and pull out that god awful plug.

(Darn brake fluid sucks the moisture right out of the air - then big trouble!) Harbor Freight has great prices for items that I may need to use on a limited basis. Picked up a sawzall for under twenty bucks. Rick I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
