Fergus & Pete :
I did the brace install a couple years ago on my '69 with these instructions
from Les/CDM
"Jeff
You have to tap the bottom bolt of the master cyl out of the firewall and
just tap it inwards so it falls onto the floor inside the car. Then remove 2 of
the bolts holding the steering column to the firewall just below the brake
master and slide the bracket up with the new bolt into position through the
bottom hole of the master and install the 2 new longer bolts into the edge of
the steering column. Hope this helps!

IIRC, someone posted here or on 311s.org that the nuts are welded onto the
firewall and the studs/bolts are removable.

Sorry if I have asked this before, suffering from CRS again.
I bought a brake brace a long time back, and since I am in the process of
replacing my clutch master cyl, I should probably tackle this as well.
So my question:
Is the lower brake master cyl stud tack welded to the body, or is threaded
in? Is the suggested way to remove the brake master, then give the stud a
short-sharp-shot, or do I wire brush all the crud off the back and try to
screw it back out? (I think this requires removing the entire brake pedal
assy to get a straight shot at the bolt)
thanks for any help,
