I picked up a rattle can of high build primer, Royal Blue base coat and 
catalyst clear coat yesterday to repair the damaged paint on the firewall and 
the master cylinder mounting bracket. I get my new clutch master cylinder and 
slave on Monday. 
I was going to use my blast cabinet to strip the bubbled up finish in the 
mounting bracket but need to give the cabinet some TLC first. I figured I would 
just use a wire wheel on a drill to get down to bare metal on the firewall. 
Then about a gallon of wax & grease remover to make sure I get all the DOT3 
residue off.
One thing I wanted to throw out there is that I am thinking about using my 
Mighty-Vac to pull the DOT5 through the lines vs. pumping it through via the 
petal. Do you think that method would reduce the potential of trapped air?
