    The original fittings on the rear of the master cylinder were sort of 'banjo' fittings that were almost flat.

    If you could find one of those it should clear up that problem

    Well I'm convinced, and since I live near Herm, that is the kicker. I talked to him over the phone, nice guy. Dennis, thanks for sharing your tribulations, but you made a tremendous step in your safety.
    BTW, new guy here from Oregon.
