What is the resevoir for? If plumbed with 2 cylinders you can get away without it, right?
I'll call you after work.

I would love to see pictures of your install....Pictures of the inside especially. Did the 4k include a steering wheel?

We carry Imco, Mayfair, WPM, and Zegler if you end up wanting new prices. There is alot to be said for buying a complete kit. The time and energy spent running around, making brackets etc...adds up real fast.

Let us know if we can help get you some pricing.
