Remote reservoir kit for Dodge master cylinder
For easy access to brake fluid level
Practical remote reservoir kit for the Dodge WC-series master cylinder. This kit relocates the brake fluid reservoir to an easily accessible location, enabling brake fluid checking and topping up without removing the floor plate. A valuable component for maintenance and safety of single-circuit brake systems.

★ This remote reservoir kit solves the accessibility problem of the under-floor mounted master cylinder — an essential improvement for regular maintenance and safety.
Application
This kit is designed for vehicles with single-circuit brake systems where the master cylinder is mounted beneath the floor plate. Suitable for use with both original sloped master cylinders and later flat-top versions. The remote reservoir can be mounted at an accessible location such as the bulkhead or inside the cab.
Installation notes
The kit connects to the top of the master cylinder cap via an elbow fitting. Use only brake fluid-resistant hose (EPDM or equivalent) — not fuel hose. The reservoir must be mounted at the same height or higher than the master cylinder. On vehicles with a shared vent line (fording system), this must be sealed separately.
Compatibility
Please note: the original WC-series used a sloped master cylinder which sits level when installed. Later M37 flat-top cylinders are also frequently fitted, but sit at an angle when mounted on WC chassis. When using a flat-top cylinder, a remote reservoir is recommended to prevent overflow problems. Not suitable for dual-circuit brake systems without modification.
Historical context
The Dodge WC 3/4-ton series had the master cylinder mounted behind the driver's foot, beneath the floor plate and close to the exhaust manifold. This made maintenance cumbersome and led to neglected brake fluid checks — a safety risk with single-circuit systems without backup circuit.
