I've got a pretty good idea of what you're up to.  So how
much clearancing is required?  Holes?  Blisters?  Red on
top and blue underneath?

Well it's not back together yet, but the "new" booster is
bolted in, as is the new MC and the lines are re-attached. 
It was about 11:00 last night when I got that finished so I
figured it was a good stopping point.

The level had gone down again, and I noticed that hitting
the brakes now was causing some white "smoke" from the
tailpipe.  Hmmm.  Vacuum line from booster to intake, mix a
little fluid into the line to be burned and....

I'm anxious to get everything bolted back on, the temps
this week are forecast to be near record highs (like today,
around 80) with a bit of sunshine - perfect 'roc driving weather.
