Anyone out there have any luck or tips on how to install a kit in a 1970 spit 
master cylinder?  The kit is only about 40 bucks and a new master is about 
$300.00!  I am not surprised the master failed as it seems I had to really 
stand on the brake pedal to make it work, pads and shoes have been 
replaced........does this sound normal?  I have just got this project up and 
running it has been sitting for at least three years so I guess the clutch 
master and slave will be the next to go, maybe I should put kits in all of them 
rather than wait for them to fail.  Any ideas or comments will be greatly 
appreciated as I have no experience with rebuilding these units.  
                 thanks for the help, Gary.
