Brake fluid reserviours

I am going nuts...... my car build has 3 off these fitted



and I want to add 3 small fluid reservoirs. A couple of weeks ago whilst googling such things I found some tiny little plastic ones that are the same size as the reservoir on the integral master cylinder i.e. like this but plastic and they will screw into my existing cylinders



Now I have found lots of 60 and 70mm diameter reservoirs but by cylinders are too close for this, I did find 50mm but have now lost it

If I can't find them again I will have to remove my new and un-used set of cylinders and buy the integral type instead which is a waste of money

is it out the window to have remote reservoirs and fit them up out the way?

Why can't you use something like this?

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

56mm is too wide, two of my cylinders are only 50mm apart!

Remote reservoirs are the last option for me, I just think cylinder mounted reservoirs are neater for my use

Just had another look and unless I can find some 50mm ones then I will put a 60mm on the two brake cylinders (which are a little further apart) and have a single remote reservoir on the clutch cylinder.

The Rover 600 used a tiny remote reservoir for the clutch, I have one complete with bracket in the shed, you can have it for the postage.

Also istrr Merlin motor sport may the clear reservoir extenstensions for the small size Girling integral cylinders.
