I was looking at those round ones. Seems like you could hide those away nicely. Thanks!

Soup can fits/hides nicely under the hood hinge area. They usually fall off the mounting brackets and end up there anyway.

embrace the Ford Soup can!

it's for the climate controls so the vacuum operated doors don't open & close with the gas pedal, the brake units are overkill to replace the soup can. GM, Dorman & Ford all have a round plastic ball, you could hide that or the soup can on the back side of the wheel tub / in the fender

Stupid Question of the Day: Cleaning up the firewall a bit, and this damn ugly coffee can reservoir....

Is anyone using something a bit different? Aftermarket? A quick eBay browse, and I see several for brake boosters, which I guess would work.
