It is a very good idea especially if you fit a Declan Burns feeder pipe kit between reservoir and master cylinder.

PM Declan for details.

You do, of course, already have a reservoir - it's integral with the master cylinder. However, the remote reservoirs do make life easy. Just be aware that you need to fit a new endcap to the master cylinder in order to connect the remote feed and a new filler cap to prevent leaks. You might be able to fit the endcap with the cylinder in the car, but it's easier with the cylinder on a bench. I agree with Phil about supplier - anything that Declan produces is excellent.
