We need to set a time where multiple people can get together and help put a new brake master cylinder (i need nipples and hoses and a vice?)

I'm not a good mechanic, and I would rather not f*ck up Stephans brakes :)

We could also throw the fredschips box in it and up the boost a bit (he bought a manual bewst controllarz)

Matt? Ian?

Who wants to lend garage/hand?

I'll be there to do 80% of the dirty work and actual wrenching, I just like guidance and hate doing things alone for the first time.

Be very careful on the brake lines from the master cylinder. I suggest wirebrushing the rust off the fitting then torching it until it glows a bit and then put FLAT vice grips on it.

Another alternative is to use th Mac flare nut crowfeet (strongest design in the market) because they have the least amount of flex but there is probably only one person on the board with them.
