I need to buy one of those personal steamer units. I always seem to find a place that needs it.
So do you feel you have everything lined up for the fittings? When will you get the Hydro unit from NY?

Just an update, and a question. I have the Hydro installed. Used M10 1.50 washer nuts on the reversed studs, and they work like a dream. The threaded pin and clevis meet the pedal, and I purposely shortened the pedal travel a little and slid the brake light switch forward to meet it. I installed check valve bleededs in all the calipers and in the master where I had to bleeder provisions. I bled each wheel and then the master. My question is this...does anyone know if bleeding the system before the power steering lines are hooked up is a bad idea. I would assume no since the car doesn't have to be run for the brakes to work, but did I maybe hurt anything?
