I re-attached the reservoir with the retaining strap, and I am ready (kinda) to start the bleeding process again.

Thanks, guys. I guess the 914 "curse" affects even new parts.

Meanwhile, I drive down to Albuquerque today to pick up my new windshield. Local vendors were not interested or able to help me. Rich at 914Werke came through, with the option to collect at a wholesale glass distributor.

Here's how to transport glass when your truck has an oil leak (and your wife's Mercedes is more comfy to drive, anyway).

Hey, That windshield looks quite comfy (and safe) in the wife's Mercedes, nice of her to allow such comfort for you both.

Yes, my wife is very good to me--probably better than I deserve.

I hate to set dates, but I am hoping for a first road test in June. We'll see.

My one minute windshield installation! Just kidding. But I could not resist checking the fit. And for now, this is a relatively sage place.

Then I got onto to bleeding the brakes, for the second time. I used "dry" pressure again, up to about 30 psi.

I made the rounds of all the calipers 3 times, and got a pretty firm pedal.

And used (so far) almost 3 liters of brake fluid.

After the car sat for 48 hours, I checked the system for leaks--none. And the pedal feel--firm. But I decided to use the rest of the open bottle of brake fluid and bleed the system again. I got a couple of small bubbles from the rear calipers.

I am feeling confident, so I put the reservoir fill screen back in.
