Clutch Master Cylinder Reservoir Missing - Generic Replacement?

[jrpentolino]

So I just removed the brake booster to get to the clutch master cylinder. And to my surprise, there is a clear plastic hose clamped to the clutch reservoir that goes about 12". I doubt this is factory, and while it seems likely the eagle had a remove reservoir, I can't see where that would go. Can someone post a pic of what that looks like? And is there a generic one someone has used? Or a spare someone wants to sell? Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a pic of what is there now:

Surprisingly, many Eagles shipped from the factory without a reservoir, just a hose with a breather.  That does not look like factory hose but it could well be the factory configuration.

atmafox is absolutely correct.  The hose and the breather cap IS the reservoir!!  Parts book even shows that.  You could of course add a remote reservoir.

Some motorcycles have a reservoir that could be easily adapted to the hose.

Search ebay for "universal brake fluid reservoir", and you'll see lots of options.

Thanks guys! I got the master cylinder rebuilt and I found a generic reservoir I'll be using. I'll post a pic when done

This is what I did to add a reservoir to my my clutch master cylinder and it has been working great for the last year and a half. I went to the local parts store and they helped me find a barbed fitting that threads into the master cylinder. It is a Dorman fuel fitting part #  785-400D. Thread that into the master where the clear hose is then use some 1/4 fuel line run over to a Honda clutch reservoir part # 46965-S5A-013. I mounted it in the factory location. About the middle of the fire wall there is a zip tie holding up the wire harness. Pull that out and make your self a bracket to hold the Honda reservoir. Find the appropriate sheet metal screw and use the hole where the wire harness was to mount the bracket for the reservoir. All in it is about $32 and you get a factory style reservoir for your clutch master cylinder. It is easy to fill when you open the hood you can get access between the hood and the cowl.

Thanks for sharing.  I'm sure the folks with a manual transmission will find this very helpful!
