No issues. Used an automatic brake reservoir also.

The kit will come with everything to get it installed. Only thing is the brackets are usually cheap and will sag. I got one on here from a forum member that made better ones

Can you give the name of the member you got your bracket from? I did the JDP kit and the bracket is not secure! Appreciate it!

Only issue I saw in the video is he put the reservoir over top of the exhaust manifolds, it needs to be in a fairly cool place IMO.

So, I’m surprised people haven’t spoken about replacing the factory Phillips head screws. You gotta replace them with some M6-1.0mm x 30mm (35 or 40mm will also work) metric hex head bolts (flange or non-flanged hex head will work). Doing this allows you to actually tighten the bolt wayyy more than you can tighten the factory Phillips head screw.

After you get the bolt tightened all the way through, you’ll have maybe 5-6 mm of the bolt threads hanging out the end of the brake master cylinder reservoir mounting holes. I just used a M6-1.0 nut and tightened it on the end of the bolt, to basically act as a locknut and prevent the bolt from loosening/backing itself out.

Just saw this! Thank you going to the fastener store in the morning

Ok I forgot. The JDP kit bracket only uses the front hole on the master cylinder screws. I am looking for a bracket that can use both so there is no movement.any ideas?
Much appreciated

There's really not much you can do, unless you drill into somewhere or use tapping screws to hold both holes with that same bracket, elsewhere. My method as I explained above, is what people have been doing, although a lot of people forget to mention it. If you use the stock factory Phillips head screws, they're never going to properly tighten, and the reservoir will tip back and forth, from time to time.
