Default Moton Reservoir Mounting?

I recently got an '04 GT3 race car. The reservoirs for the Motons are just zip tied to a strut up under the hood. ...see photo below.
Anyone have any better suggestions or photos?



In the rear of the car, I want to get a bracket to reservoirs inside the cage. Any idea where I can get those? Right now, the reservoirs are bolted up in the wheel arches - a suboptimal location at best.

Go to Kinetic Motorsports webpage for pics of their work on a 2005 Seal Grey GT3. Custom mounts for both front and rear reservoirs.

My fronts are in the same place, and they have worked pretty well there. I made some brackets from Longacre universal 1 3/4 rings that fit on my DAS bar. Not home now, so I can't send pictures, but they also work very well. If you want, I'm sure they can be purchased for quite a bit more...

Terry, mine are mounted in the same place. Here is a pic. By the way, check your thread about the rotors. I posted the PFC info and some pics.

Honestly what's wrong with zip ties? I don't see the point in messing around with relatively heavy custom CNC'd bracketry unless you are more obsessed with bling than performance?

most ppl mount there where your race car has it and with zip ties. my never had issues.

i had custom brackets for the rear canisters, but it's too much hassle to take the cannister on and off. i zip tied them also. if i need to get them off, just cut the tie.

Marcos is a hell of a good driver. I've got my work cut out for me to uphold his reputation in that car.
I've got just about 2 full track days in the car. I'm heading to Sebring next weekend for the Gold Coast Region event and will likely do the Citrus/Crown region event the following weekend on August 2/3
