After picking up the pressure bleeder from Lee @ KCCR, I surveyed the brake situation and decided even if I bleed the existing toe brakes, they will NEVER be easy to service, so I ordered a new dual master cylinder and associated handle and mounting bracket from Sonex. Then turned my attention to installing the Sea Dog hatch spring as a canopy hold open. I wish the spring was a little longer, but it works really well, and does not distort the canopy when closed the way the gas strut did.
