Remote Reservoir Mounting...

[phoenixcsl]

Has anyone got any experience / tips for mounting remote reservoirs into the CSL?

i.e. which routes for the front and for the rears?

Fronts cable tie to the strut brace if space.

Rears the same if running strut brace. If not to under parcel shelf if long enough.

for routing the are two vents from rear arch to boot and between plastic arch liner panels in the front

Thanks Shane, the rears definitely will have enough length to run to the rear brace when it arrives.

Brilliant, i'll look into running them that way, didn't know about the rear arch vents, that saves me hacking something up, thanks Shim

Not sure if I would mount the reservoirs on the front strut brace, they will get fricking hot! maybe put them in the ecu bay and the brake reservoir bay....

I'll have a look when I get the car back next week, that could be a possibility.

Looking at some of the threads on M3 Forum, they have them mounted off brackets behind the headlights which looks like a neat solution, having said that, I'm not sure I'll have enough cable length to run them that far.

Depending on size if on the front brace they will hit bonnet stiffeners, and airbox, and will get hot ...so .... I have mine where cantfind1 suggests ... now, is he as clever as me.? or me as clever as he ??
