gordonbBrake Fluid Reservore
My brake lite came on during the trip down here and I suspect it is due to the brake fluid being low.
Now I can't find the brake fluid reservore other than there is a small bottle with screw on lid close to the radiator and it just says to put in the proper fluid. I really can't be sure if it is brake fluid or power steering fluid.

dogillOn my '84 Regal, that would be the brake fluid canister.

gordonbI made a guess and filled to the level it needed the small canaster by the radiator, I flooowed the laine from it down to the Brake Master Cylinder so I guess it was the right one.
Now where is the Power steering fluid fill at?
They must of built the coach around the engine.

REGLOVERHi guys, it must be nice to have a newer Barth on my 1976 I have to get in behind the front left tire up near the floorboard with a flash lite to see the brake fluid level, but my power steering fill is out in front of the radiator.

keithwhitei have had a 71 24 ft Limited for 3 years to get to the brake master cylinder is easy just raise the front hatch it is right there but i just got a 77 27 ft this week and i had one heck of a time even finding the brake master cylinder it is the the same as ralph's as far as i can tell you have to remove left front tire then remove this big steel plate to even check the brake fluid and i think i am going to have to replace it don't even like the thought of it. the 71 has dual vacuum boosters and the 77 with longer wheelbase has a hydra-boost system.
