Matco Brake Fluid Reservoir
I purchased the reservoir and the reservoir kit. The reservoir that I received did not have a 1/8 NPT port as described but a 1/8 flare fitting and the kit came with a 1/8 NPT fitting that does not fit. The thread at the reservoir is BSPP, standard parallel pipe, the other end is UNF-2B not 1/8 NPT.

Per the manufacturer, yes this should be plenty large enough.
The total length is approximately 4.5".
Per the supplier: Yes. It is commonly mounted on the engine side of the firewall. However, it should not be in close proximity to a direct heat source.
The female NPT threads would be located on the bottom of the unit.
Per Vendor: It should be mounted using the bracket. Some desire to mount it using only the fittings to support it and that is not desired means to secure it. It is also vulnerable to inadvertent contact in that location as well.
This is made of polycarbonate material so it will not work with those fluids. This is made to work with H-5606 hydraulic fluid.

The cap has a vent hole in it. It is under the bracket with space provided by the washer separating the cap from the bracket.
