Have a 1955 Willy’s Custom 4dr, hurricane 6cyl, the top cap on the brake master cylinder has an “ accessory remote fill option port” can anyone tell me what this is for?
-
Because some master cylinders are mounted on the frame of the car and under the floor mats or carpeting they were very difficult to service without putting the car on a hoist and being able to service it from underneath. The remote fillers were often mounted on the firewall and made refilling the master cylinders much easier. They are a desirable accessory to have.

Thanks, ours is mounted on the frame, where the hose runs from the reseviour (under the hood ) down to the master cylinder, quite a pain, trying to restore this car but it’s gettin to be quite the project.

I once lost my brakes and ran into the back of one of my other cars, damaging the grill on my 52 Aero. After that experience I installed a remote reservoir that I took off on old Jaguar that was sitting next to a Willys in a wrecking yard. I made the mounts and installed in existing holes that were on the drivers side fender well, tapped the existing metal M/C cap and plumbed the unit with aluminum tubing.
(sorry guys, haven't been able to right up the picture)
