Oops ... please disregard my comment--except for the 'cheesy' and
'underneath/lift' parts--as I didn't see the second two photos.
Ira, where you get your MF extension? Doug Reid passed several years
ago (but his family kept his website going for a bit to liquidate his
inventory).

<p>Can't comment on the DWM extension, except that it does look a
bit short, but I'll say using a tie wrap to secure it is a bit
cheesy. I wonder if it's supposed to be tied to something on
the engine (the hard line)? If so, maybe it's meant to only be
used from under the car? Perhaps the DWM people assume all
Healey owners have a lift or get under their cars regularly? To
bleed the slave cyl effectively you either have to pull the
gearbox cover, or drop the cyl (and the top bolt is a real
bee-yatch to get to).<br>

<p>This conversation has made me very happy I bought one of Mr.
Finespanner's extensions when they were available; I had a soft
