Does anyone make a remote master cylinder reservoir kit for use with the original single pot master cylinders used in 57-62 Mopars?

About 25-plus years ago, on Ebay, there was a what I call a Master Cylinder Extension for sale. I suspect it was an aftermarket item. You would remove the cover and replace it with this cast unit, which came ahead of the master cylinder. You would then reuse your cap on the extension. I have tried to get Vans Auto, etc., to make these again, but no one wants to make them. I have also tried to talk to different salvage yards to see if this is on cars in the salvage yard. Please keep me in mind if you out any more information or suppliers.

It's really not that hard to do the way it left the factory.
Loosen bolt with 7/16 open end wrench.
Using finger tips loosen bolt and remove cover with bolt still in cover.
Take empty 1 quart oil bottle, cut hole in cap to install a rubber grommet the size of a clear vinyl tubing of your choice.
Fill the reservoir by squeezing the fluid filled bottle.
Install cap together with the bolt.
It takes some getting used too because it's done by feel but it gets easier after a few times.

On my '59 Imperial it has an accordion style brake bellows. I also use two ratcheting C clamps to compress the brake bellows. Unknown if what kind of car you are describing but the engine compartment is very busy with alot of parts.

My experience is with a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker and a 1958 Dodge Coronet. Both have a solid brake booster.
