**** this ****. Did find a problem, or two. Spent about nine hours off and on, on the car. Missed work, and still don't have the car drivable yet. Ended up finding that the hose from the reservoir to master had failed and cracked from the reservoir end up about two inches. Nobody in town except apparently NAPA has/had hydraulic hose, and they closed five minutes after I figured out what I needed. Got some fuel vapor hose in 5/16" to last temporarily, what a day, or two? When I pulled the old hose off from the master cylinder end, the valve came with it. Took like 45 minutes of fiddling and dissembling some electronic box and moving the vacuum hose assembly to just barely get the valve with new hose back into the seal with my smallish hands. Somebody or just bad luck knocked off the motive and right now the gauge is stuck at 5 PSI, so I'm gonna assume its now broken after the first day of use lol unless the gauge moves again with some pressure. To add to the fun I found a couple spots that were either brand new rock chips or damage from something falling... had a PITA with the touch up stick. Going to somehow have to borrow a car tomorrow? Need more brake fluid... doesn't seem like ATE super blue is carried locally so I guess I'll have to mix in some DOT 4 from the local parts store.. going to order that hose from Pelican I guess if I can find the part number. At least I'm alive and healthy. And have a Porsche (good or bad... hmm). Clutch pedal still goes to the floor. Think now the problem is just low on fluid. At least I got the Fuchs stripped....
