golf mk3 clocks

Hi all,

I did it on my bus, but i used the golf fuse box and so it just plugs in using the original golf wiring that was extended same for the engine. 

"On the master cylinder reservoir interference issue … it was in the way and I wanted to maintain the visual angles, so I took it out! I then used a master cylinder reservoir from a ’90′s Mazda pickup. It comes (from your local P&P yard) with a remote mounting bracket. I rotated it so the long axis is parallel to the windshield long axis. It comes with a built-in level sensor that I wired into the VW harness. I can’t remember if the vanagon originally came with the level sensor built in of if I added it to the vanagon reservoir and modded the harness years ago. For the inlet lines to master cylinder, I believe I used the plastic barb adaptors from a Super Beetle. I use an inline T to tap off the clutch feed. I mounted the reservoir in the same general area as the original Vanagon unit and aligned the inlet so that the plastic drip shield fit again (anal-retentive, I know). Clears the back of the cluster as if it were designed to do so! This solution should work for any cluster one would like to put in!"

I think the barb he talks about is part number 113611153A.

I have been in the local scrappy today and picked up a brake fluid reservoir off a flat pun to. It has 3 outlets and the plastic adaptors fit perfectly on the vw cylinder and has a spare port for the clutch. The vw cap even fits, but I need to check if it activates at the right level. It certainly looks like it will make a easily mount able remote reservoir so the vw clocks can be fitted deeper in the pod.
