I found it useful to use teflon/ss braid flexible lines for the header tank
- this allows the deck to be lifted from one side and both arms can get at the
underneath connections - especially if the sump line actually comes out to a
human reachable union.
When I had the original Matco master cylinders, one could reach them by
removing the canopy and the instrument panel dust cover and reaching between the
tank and the panel instruments. One method is to wrap the masters with a
towel and pump fluid into the brake body until the fluid runs out the breather
hole in the master - then drain a small amount of fluid out of the system.
I finally gave up and installed the larger Matco brake cylinder that requires a
remote reservoir. I used the Matco clear plastic one mounted to the aft
side of the firewall and, once half filled with red mil-spec fluid, just a
flashlight illuminated glance into the foot well tells me if the reservoir is at
the proper level.
