That's great news, Bob, Russ  would be really pleased, as are the rest 
of us spectators out here. You've  put in a LOT of work and skill and 
we ALL appreciate it! I can't wait to  see it at the next invasion. 

;-)

I was thinking that you still  needed a boot for your MC from me. Did 
you find something or do you still  need one? Early or late?



Thanks everybody, it's been an interesting project. I too look forward to  
driving it to the next Invasion.
 
: )
 
Actually I learned a couple of things. 1) I didn't have a late brake pedal  
pushrod in my stash (only 2 earlies), so I temporarily stole the 1 out of 
the 71  Square-vert (still need 1 to replace it). 2), You can't adjust the 
older early  style pushrod out far enough, as there isn't enough stud to do 
this (the max  length is 150 mm, with the 2 halfs butted together, and you 
need to be at least  150 mm to make the dual circuit master work correctly) 
hence the stealing of the  71's part. 3) It pays to make sure you have 
everything you need before digging  in (a couple of spare parts will save the day 
too IF something goes  wrong (like a stripped out T fitting at the rear- my 
fault)), but replacing ALL  of the steel lines was pretty easy, and it made 
for a nice job, and helps with  the bleeding process. Yes, I went with Dot 5 
brake fluid too. ;^)
 
The wide 5 kit came with a new boot, so I used it. It was real nice and  
soft. Don't know how long it'll survive (it's Chinese), but it's done. I did 
put  the weep hole on the bottom at installation. Thanks for asking.
