Abstract
A coupling arrangement between a fluid reservoir and a main brake cylinder for a motor vehicle brake system includes two coupling arms with one coupling aperture each on one of the fluid reservoir or main brake cylinder. The other of the fluid reservoir or main brake cylinder has a mounting portion with a receiving aperture. The coupling apertures and the receiving aperture are aligned with each other along a common axis and accept a coupling bolt. The coupling bolt is configured with a cylindrical shank portion and at least one radially protruding detent projection. At least one of the coupling arms includes a support portion, which has a support surface that radially supports the cylindrical shank portion. Part of the support portion is configured to be elastically deformable with the detent projection to produce a detent connection. The remaining part of the support portion is configured to be substantially deformation-resistant.
