If you don't do it yourself, be sure to have a competent welder saw off the old VW brake master bracket and weld on the new. It must be positioned exactly as the diagram with the parts. Set the brake bias bar as they describe for the Tilton masters. The stock brake light switch will plug right in IIRC.
If you want work, ditch the old copper radiator and get their aluminum Griffin. You'll lose 16 pounds and gain much better cooling.
And shield the feed line from the reservoir to the clutch master with FireSleeve.
Then for relaxation, replace all of the sheetmetal screws on the car with nut-certs and button-headed allens....
