EMPI Dual Circuit Master Cylinder Reservoir — Snap-In Replacement

Eliminate the clutter of hoses and fittings with the EMPI Dual Circuit Master Cylinder Reservoir. Specifically engineered for '67 and later dual-circuit master cylinders, this "snap-in" style reservoir mounts directly to the master cylinder, providing a clean and efficient fluid storage solution. It is a favorite for dune buggies, sand rails, and street rods where space is at a premium and a simplified braking system is preferred.
