Brake Master Cylinder Install

Salvaged E30 master cylinder test installed on the metro servo with the Marlin adapter. After cleaning up all the parts I gave the cylinder two coats of caliper paint. All the seals were in good condition so I'm re-using for now.

 

The only problem I can see is that the upward angle of the reservoir will mean I'll have to fill to the lip of the top up hole to get the equivalent of MAX.

 

There was a small disc inside the front reservior port (for the rear brakes). No idea what it's for so I'm open to suggestions as it may need a specific orientation.

 

I'm assuming the forward output port is for the rear brakes via a T-piece I'll locate at the rear and the rear ports can both be used, one for each of the front calipers. Normally I think that bottom port is sealed up with a bolt but it makes life easier if I can pull a line from each
