I found the rebuilt master cylinder for $17 at Supertrack,  and with a
rebuilt? power assist unit, it was $120 or so...  I am getting the rebuilt
one.  I very seldom rebiuild things cause I am lazy.  Thanks for the
information though.

I have a feeling we all agree it would be unwise to have a friend hold onto
the front coil springs while randomly cutting steel members in the front
suspension area.  At least this argument(discussion?) is better than the
default discussion of the general US state of affairs.  =)

Thanks for all the help guys

Peace Out
