I can imagine much neater than using a few pieces of saran wrap under the fill cap like I'd done for decades. D'oh!

I can be so myopic. Something so simple as tape sealing closed the brake fluid reservoir cap vent. U dunno if I'd read it here before or forgot if I did read it here before. Something so simple and obvious.

Afraid of pressing the brake pedal with an open line from the aforementioned pushing the MTC bore past the seal and ruining it with no rebuild seal hit or replacement MTC. What I learned in the 1980s.

Replacing the front four flexible brake hoses a month ago on the 1990 240 Dl li'l red Wagon was a hopeless and expensive mess. Had to use a frickin' nine pound hammer and a six foot long breaker bar to open them lines. Yet the saran wrap did limit brake fluid drips on the land lord's precious slummy cranked and weed-grown-through car park.

I could not ever imagine dropping in some huge V-8 into the engine bay like you do. Just to keep up with these cars, rotting in the open.

Hopes for a bizyness analyst, sr level jobby job? Celebrates with bucket of eggnog if so? Moves up to that 1993 classic wagon, with M47 II, finally. And a big garage with a bench and a vice with a little anvil molded into it made of U.S. steel. Someday.

Happy Hallowed-Dayze.

Sorry to go on so.

Thanks,

MacDuff.
