Funk Motorsport Clutch/Brake Reservoir Protection Blanket – Component-Specific Heat Shield

Clutch and Brake Reservoir Heat Protection for Demanding Builds

The Funk Motorsport Clutch/Brake Reservoir Protection Blanket is engineered for drivers who demand reliability from their hydraulic systems in extreme environments. Whether you’re building a track car, prepping an off-road 4x4, or optimising a high-performance road vehicle, this component-specific heat shield helps maintain the integrity of your clutch and brake fluid reservoirs where it matters most.

How the Protection Blanket Safeguards Your Reservoirs

Reservoirs for clutch and brake systems are highly susceptible to heat soak in the engine bay, especially during hard driving, towing, or off-road use. Excessive heat can degrade hydraulic fluid, leading to spongy pedal feel, reduced braking efficiency, or even system failure. The Funk Motorsport blanket acts as a thermal barrier, shielding your reservoirs from radiant and ambient heat and supporting consistent hydraulic performance.

Where This Heat Shield Excels

This reservoir protection blanket is designed for:

• Performance builds where high engine bay temperatures are common
• Off-road and expedition vehicles exposed to prolonged heat and challenging terrain
• Motorsport applications where reliability and safety are paramount
• Any vehicle where brake or clutch fade due to heat is a concern

It is particularly valuable for drivers who regularly encounter stop-start conditions, heavy braking, or long climbs, where hydraulic fluid temperatures can quickly rise.

Key Benefits for Enthusiasts and Professionals

• Helps prevent heat soak and fluid degradation in clutch and brake reservoirs
• Supports consistent pedal feel and hydraulic response under load
• Reduces risk of brake fade or clutch slip caused by high temperatures
• Quick, reversible installation with no permanent modifications
• Fits most standard cylindrical or rectangular reservoirs – check your reservoir shape and size before purchase

Construction and Technical Details

Funk Motorsport is recognised for advanced thermal management solutions. While specific material and temperature ratings for this blanket are not published, it is designed to withstand the elevated temperatures typically found in performance engine bays. The outer layer provides a durable, heat-reflective surface, while the inner insulation helps block heat transfer to the reservoir body.

Installation and Usage Guidance

The blanket is designed for straightforward, tool-free installation. Simply wrap it around your clutch or brake reservoir and secure as directed. It can be removed easily for reservoir inspection or fluid changes. For best results, ensure the blanket fully covers the reservoir and is free from contact with moving parts or sharp edges.
