I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any other types of reservoirs that will work with the OEM brake master cylinder in the 3rd gen F-Body platform. The OEM reservoir works fine but there is contact between the reservoir and my drivers side strut mount when dialing in extreme alignment settings (negative camber). Not only does this prevent me from using the settings I want, I imagine there is some ammount of strut tower flex while driving/racing and its probably pressing against the reservoir while at speed.

I'm looking for a different style of reservoir that has different offset outlets and will plug in and work with the OEM brake master cylinder. Currently the reservoir outlets are in the center of each bank (one for fronts, one for rears). If the outlets were offset to the side on both banks the reservoir could sit closer towards the engine (with the stock brake master cylinder in the stock location), and I would have the needed clearance for the strut mount.

I was thinking maybe I could look at different reservoirs from different year/model GM cars/trucks that happen to use the same brake master cylinder as our cars. Another option I've seen is the guys that switch to a LT1 or LS1 brake master cylinder, but I feel like it might be overkill since the contact is just with the reservoir, not the stock brake master cylinder itself. I'm also unsure how the piston/bore differences will affect my setup. What do you guys think?

Junkyard?
in 7 years of selling parts, I've never seen an offset reservoir for Chevy apps. Also, I've never seen the reservoir sold separate of the master cylinder so I think you just might be stuck... stuck with going the LT1/LS1 route.

Autozone sells the resevoir seperate from the master cylinder, at least for my 305.
