The booster they fit onto is air powered, and quite small in diameter, but about 8" long. They come up on Bbay quite often as well.
If you want a nice compact resevoir, grab one of the dual plastic remotes off of a BMW. Or, go really retro with a round, threaded top tin can, like a tire cement can, with a couple of hose barbs silvered on the bottom, and an old coil bracket for a mount.
A problem with the Mog parts was the metric brake fitting flair-nuts they use. They are 2mm larger than standard pieces,and drilled for 6mm lines, so 1/4" brake lines won't fit through. After spending some time at the auto wreckers, I found that late model Honda hydraulic clutch flair-nuts are the same thread size, and have a larger hole that fits the 1/4" lines without nedding to be drilled out. Ditto for the flair-nuts on one end of Honda power steering lines.
