★ Quality brake fluid reservoir that ensures the fluid supply of the brake system. Important safety component for reliable hydraulic brake operation.
Installation notes
The reservoir is mounted on the master cylinder located beneath the driver's floor, accessible via the floor hatch. When filling, observe the correct fluid level: approximately 6-13mm below the top of the reservoir. Use a small bottle, funnel or tube to fill the reservoir due to difficult accessibility. Check the rubber seal of the cap for good condition.
Compatibility
Please note: Dodge WC 3/4-ton and 1½-ton lorries use an angled master cylinder with a slanted reservoir, so that the reservoir sits level when installed. This differs from the later M37-series which uses a horizontally mounted system. Check the mounting position of your master cylinder.
Historical context
The WWII Dodge WC-series used a simple vented brake system where atmospheric air pressure has access to the reservoir. This classic design ensures proper functioning of the hydraulic system and prevents vacuum during braking.
