To be fair, and having done it both ways with both masters at various =
times and for a repaint, it's MUCH easier to get at the banjo bolts =
through the large plug in the firewall than it is to remove and refit =
those two bolts which are higher up behind the dash.

As said getting the lower nuts on the master cylinder is a fiddle, but =
again nowhere near as bad as those two bolts.  I wedged the nuts into an =
open-ended spanner and stuck the washer to them with grease.

And on the subject, anyone know the purpose of the thin shim between the =
single-circuit (not dual?) brake master and the pedal box?  It surely =
can't be to do with alignment.
