Hi,
I have one fitted, it was a while ago but from memory i had to shorten the push rod by about 20-20mm. I used the original Porsche reservoir.
Regards,
Ollie

I used the original porsche reservoir and the original rod but had the normal spacer fitted (the one used for a bay MC conversion)
A guy on here sells them

Hi guys thanks for your response, there are two reservoirs and I have the longer one which means the spacer and pushrod won't fit, I've ordered the square reservoir which I'm hoping will solve the issue.

Finished this off today, the square reservoir fitted perfectly and allows the spacer to go in, which means the push rod will fit,
Brakes are awesome, 944 280mm discs front and rear, golf GTI 16v front calipers front and rear, green stuff pads on the front, buttys servo and the 23/19 mastercylinder to give me a 55/45 front to rear bias.
Stops really well, like my daily driver focus but without the warped discs!
