This the set-up I used on my Arnolt. The Master Cylinder is for a Jaguar XK120 early type and the cap includes the threaded portion. The Lockheed reservoirs are harder to find than the Girling ones. They are identified by the cap having a hex nut. They both work.

This is a photo of my remote tank. I didnt have to drill holes in the firewall rather I removed one of the bolts that holds the floor boards in and replaced it with a longer bolt of the same style which has been used to hold the tank in place.I have used brake line and brake fittings and tapped a thread in the original lid of the master cylinder. The remote tank makes life a little easier.

Nice job, and no need to move the nameplate like on mine.
