replacing master cylinder - tool question

I'm replacing the master cylinder on my '69 911E. the workshop manual specifies a torque value for the retaining nuts at the flange. however, there's not enough clearance for my torque wrench with socket to reach in there. is there a trick to this? is there a low-clearance torque wrench I should be using, perhaps something like a ratchet-action box end torque wrench (haven't seen such a thing, but it seems like a good idea, and would really do the trick here)?

Have fun getting the MC feed lines hooked up. That was a royal PITA.

attach the feed lines before tightening up the above nuts, or you won't be able to get the rearmost one into the grommet in the M/C. i grab them with needlenose visegrips and pull and twist until they seat.

thanks for the pointer -- I spent about 25 mins trying to get them in -- didn't look like it would be difficult, but it was really sort of a *****!
