Does the size of the brake fluid reservoir bottle matter?

As above really. I'm relocating my clutch and brake reservoir bottles.

Going to use custom sized ones and wondering if I can use motorbike ones, they're smaller but does it matter? It's not like they're used to dissipate heat or anything?

I can get the motorbike ones with brackets for a much much lower price than any others so would appear advice. Thanks

In general , the car reservoirs hold approx 500ml . Incase of a leak ect , gives you time to pull over .
If your running motor bike one ie smaller , that's not a major issue in theory , just an issue if you don't have a low level warning ect .
I would want to know if the level was going down &dann2707
 
Seems to me that the only function is to prevent air getting into the pressure line. The ones from Tilton etc are also very small, so I don't think it will be an issue. And the ones you are going to use also work very well on a motorbike.
 
  dan's cast offs.
depends on use of the car and if it's a dedicated track car pad use, as pad wears pistons sit further out so you've got to have enough in reserve to cover the excess fluid.
