    Kugel Komponents now offers new, increased-capacity remote fill reservoirs available in a single, double or triple option. The billet aluminum reservoirs now hold more than double the amount of fluid that the company’s previous reservoirs did, with a capacity of 2.75 ounces. The reservoirs have threaded outlets on both the back and bottom and can be mounted anywhere above the master cylinder, which means that a builder no longer has to remove carpet or get underneath the vehicle to get to the master cylinder, according to the company.

    To cure the all-too-common problem of “spongy” brakes, noted chassis builder Art Morrison Enterprises has developed a special through-frame fitting that eliminates any fluid air pockets that can occur with other designs. These fittings can be employed by builders of street rods, race cars, custom trucks, and restomod vehicles where aftermarket brake systems are typically used.

    Wilwood Engineering has introduced new 11- and 12.9-inch Internal Drum E-Brake Rear Kits for 1959-1964 Chevys.

    Kugel Komponents’ Under-Dash Brake Pedal Assembly is a reverse-mount, 90-degree hanging-style pedal assembly. The assembly is compact and is ideal for applications where the builder does not want the booster or master cylinder out in the engine compartment, said the company. It also eliminates having a unit under the floor, which aids in exhaust and ground clearance issues, according to Kugel.

    The Under-Dash Brake Pedal Assembly is compatible with power or manual brake systems. A small, 180-degree non-power assembly is also offered and both units are available for brake and clutch or brake-only applications. All master cylinders are available as standard fill or remote fill.
