54Les:

If you search for "Brake Fluid Reservoir" in the 55-56 Forum you will find a Packard accessory that would be the same as the Wilwood product. As you scroll through this thread there will be a source for master cylinder caps modified for adding a remote reservoir.

The thread mentioned starts on 05Nov17 . . . as yet I've not mastered how to attach a pointer back to another thread, but that's a challenge for another day.

David, thanks for finding the thread having replacement cap info. Here is the direct link to the pertinent cap postshttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=206731#forumpost206731

As to the factory remote fill accessory, as far as I know it has long been extinct unless one lucks into an ebay offering. I believe the aftermarket item sold by the fellow in Texas is the closest to a direct bolt in that is available today.

The blueprints for the factory item are all available and it would be nice if a vendor or even an individual someone could offer a repro but it must be that no one thinks there is enough demand to make the initial cash outlay and minimum quantity feasible. I believe Studebaker also offered something very similar with their under floor masters after the joining so between the two clubs one would think a few could be sold.
