If the rat eats the parts, they weren't good enough! 
Can't wait to see the pics and videos! 
Hope to make some worthwhile!

Hopefully you don't have the same problem I had. Bad remaned master. I bench bled it like 6 times could ever get a good pedal. Went and got another one and fixed my issues. I think you were even there for that.. Lol
luckily it was an overlook on my part...
The m/c is from something like a 78 C30 (I'd have to search the thread to find the app)...big bore m/c and it works great with 4 wheel discs (when I have a good one)
The issue is the hydroboost is from a 83 K5 diesel...small front disc/rear drum setup, so we had to make a pushrod extension sleeve to go between the m/c and the hydro pushrod. I forgot to take that extension sleeve out of the old one and put it in the new one...duh!
So with that in place its got a good pedal with just a gravity bleed on the system!
the pics show the sleeve and the difference between the length of the hydroboost pushrod and the master cylinder piston bore.
The measurement on the allen wrench is about 1.75" from end of the m/c piston bore to the mounting flange, the sleeve is 1.5" and the pushrod is set back in the hydroboost bore about .5"...so after about .25" travel the pushrod is moving the piston.
The 4th pic is the m/c with the sleeve installed.

I had that issue with my kids K5. had to make a small rod extension for it. took me FOREVER to find it though kept wondering why I had NO pedal after pressure bleeding an entire gallon through it
wish I could make it to one of these get together's again..... I STILL haven't rode in the maiden
been fircken hectic and tight around here for a LONG time though

Gotta make a dune party yet or something
Well in the maidens case that's not a bad thing
Must have been a fireball related smoking problem?
Sidewalls are all shiny....he pimped it up the hill and with every throttle of the skinny peddle romping the block to one side even gave it that pimp walk I'll bet!

The little wheeler (3 year old) made me play that video (the forward shot version) on the big screen 5 times.
Good times. Thank you for coming out to play
