Quick add on: On the other hand, a Miata clutch master, is so easy to do either way works. I've litterally done one in the DARK with no lights in about 20 minutes. Just be sure to pump it till fluid comes out before attaching the lines. It makes bleeding it that much easier.
Great thread. Keep us up to date and good work!
