Thumbs up "Plan B" WW reservoir tank By Roto-Fab!

Ok guys, we have the mounting locations out of the way!! We had to make a few changes on the initial prototype as well as wait for a M6 car to verify clearance of the slave cylinder lines. Now we are starting on instructions as well as our first production run of mounting brackets. We will have this version available sometime in November.

As you can probably see, we haven't come up with a name for our new ww res!! So we thought we would ask the C5 community! We want a catchy name the will help differentiate the new ww res from the current one. Maybe along the lines of "hidden, convenient"...?

Here are some sneak peak pics of the latest reservoir as requested!!





Thanks guys!
Jeremiah

How much does it hold cuz it doesn't look like it could hold 1/2 gallon.

Fair point, but it's just WW fluid. On a ZL1, it's there for emergencies only IMO...I've only ever used mine on accident anyways

So right.
The other day I hit it by accident and it startled me
16-32oz is more then enough.

Sorry, let me rephrase.

The pump is attached to the bottom of the OEM windshield washer fluid tank/container/plastic-thingy
