Hello, I'm definitely a newbie and I acquired a 4950 Oldsmobile rocket 88 rat rod last year. I'm just starting to work through it, and this is where you get to find out how green I am, I can't find the brake fluid reservoir. I've been told it might be on the driver's side floor panel but there does not seem to be anything resembling a place to put oil in in that area.if anyone can point me on the right direction I would be greatly appreciative
If you crawl under the car and look in the area of the brake pedal you will find the master cylinder .
It looks like someone bolted a patch on a rusted floor . Probably right over the access hole you're looking for .
This is an illlustration of a '56 , but it is a similar setup
If I remember correctly it is possible to fill the master from the bottom using a small 1/4 inch plastic tube attached to a squeeze bottle but you can't see the fluid level. Otherwise you will need to open that access hole and fill it from the floorboard.... Tedd
