You forgot the upside down thing in the footwell where you start to lose conciousness, pressing 13 y.o daughter into service to hold engine bay spanner while I clout my head repeatedly on steering column, not being able to get the bloody pipe fitting out far enough to clear the cylinder body, and the two bleeding processes - one of clutch fluid, one of claret seepage from fibreglass abrasions.

I did this on my own. It really was not that bad I didn't get into the car upside down. Just had a torch to light up the footwell a knelt down. I do know what you mean about the claret that a TVR seems to ooze out EVERYWHERE due to the damn fibreglass. HAHA

Thanks, Guys appreciate the comments.

UPDATE on the Clutch Master Cylinder!! Just for simplicity and for helping others in the future you order the parts from:

Clutch Master Cylinder
Girling Master Cylinder 5/8 Inch

Also, you need to ask for an adapter, so on this item, the exit hole is smaller than original. (I dont know the sizes but the guy at Merlin ordered me an adapter etc) So they provided an adapter that is Male to Male then you need to cut off the tip of the existing clutch line, fit the new brass fitting and flare the end.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
Part number BMC4230

This fits a treat follow the above procedure. It was really quick, quicker than removing the pedal box and steering rack.

Total time taken to remove and refit new for these would be around the 1 hour 30 min mark.
