Abstract
An arrangement (10) for the connection of a brake fluid supply reservoir (12) to a longitudinal brake master cylinder (14) of a motor vehicle, in which at least one lower supply pipe (16) connected to the reservoir is received in a complementary supply bore (18) of the master cylinder (14) and in which vertical immobilization structure (20) is interposed between the pipe (16) and the master cylinder (14). The arrangement is by an intermediate baseplate (22) that is connected to the reservoir (12) by at least one nozzle (24) including the supply pipe (16) and that is lowered vertically onto the master cylinder (14) and then immobilized on the master cylinder (14) by way of vertical immobilization structure (20) that directly snap-fastens to the master cylinder (14) to allow rapid attachment of the pipe (16) to the master cylinder (14).
