Yea, thanks. I cant do anything. Crutches and wheelchair. I've only been off the porch once in the last 4 weeks and that was to go back to the surgeons to get about 60 staples out. So I will not be working on the car. I'm glad to hear it's a doable job for my boy. I  meant Arizona parts place. Master for $100, I called them and they told me that was a good one. They also have them for $50 but not German made, but not Chinese either. Max

What's going on in Arizona Max ? .

It'll go easily , I'll flush and then drain the hydraulic system first , then place some plastic bags underneath the master , put a clean absorbent rag over the plastic so if I drip any brake fluid it won't hit the paint and cause rusting .

The actual R & R of the master is dead simple , two 13 MM ATF nuts and three 11 MM flare nuts on the brake pipes IIRC , swap over the resivoir off the car  re install and then fill and pressure bleed it , should take only a couple hours including setting up the jack stands and flushing out the old brake fluid .

I have a dedicated 7 MM 6 point combination wrench I bought specifically to bleed German cars' brakes ,it's got a bend in the ring end I really like for easy access .

I also just got a new bleeder bottle , with a wider mouth so I can keep two different size rubber bleeder hoses in it at all times .

Maybe I'll spring for the <magic> M-B factory DOT 4 brake fluid , they sell it at my local Partshaus .
As soon as I get this done it's back to my Morris Minor , I discovered loose front end parts , mostly  due to 50 year old rotted away rubber bushings so now it all comes apart and gets de rusted , wire brushed and re painted gloss black  before fitment of new bushings .

I hope my Morry Parts Supplier has polyurethane bushings in stock to - morrow .

I also need to go borrow an engine hoist so I can yank the driveline and begin major servicing of it .

Anyone know where I can get the vibration clips?  I need a full set for a 4cyl.

The basket case is officially on the road.  There are still a lot of piddling things that need attention, bolting the dashboard the rest of the way in for starters, But I got everything working and ready for new tires and a sticker.

Haven't checked the brakes yet.  Almost afraid to.

OH!  What's the deal with the fog lights?  They work if I jump them at the headlight switch, but where is the dang fog switch?  The biggest problem with this car, they apparently had a melt down in the lighting system (behind the instrument panel) and rewired it kind of hinky.  Took me 4 days to get all the lights working.

The glow plug timer/relay was blown out so I just put it on a button with a ford starter relay. one one thousand, two one thousand...   :o)
I'm pretty happy about saving 80 bucks.  Hopefully, I can teach the wife to use it.

Thanks
Fred..

Anyone know where I can get the (injector line) vibration clips?  I need a full set for a 4-cyl.

The basket case is officially on the road.  There are still a lot of piddling things that need attention, bolting the dashboard the rest of the way in for starters, But I got everything working and ready for new tires and a sticker.
