Default brake resovoirs on saffs..?

hi.. does anyone know of the differences in the brake resovoirs as
the one on mine is too big to fit my external wastegate and i think its the 4x4 one thats smaller.. can i swap the fluid bottles over or is it the whole thing..
thanks..

ive been looking at engine bay pics and their looks to be a few variants.. the 4x4 has the bottle on the other side of the block but some seem to have the same position as mine but a smaller bottle... might just buy a few up and see if they fit..
dont know what else to try....

I almost had the same problem, bought some big tubular manifold that was never gonna fit. Son I opted for 2wd manifold with spacer block, and a reyland external gate conversion. Fits perfect on my 4x4 and does not hit anything. What set up are you trying to use???
