    Its funny you would bring this up i have been waiting to build one and will when i do the engine out next year. Basically i am using an old brake master cylinder off one of my old superbikes. I just needed to get the quick coupler machined in my shop and to do that i needed the one on the car removed.

    He says he does not have this tool, nor has he ever had this in stock for the 355.

    I could search for it from some other source, but I think if someone smart and resourceful (there is no shortage of those on this forum) could concoct one up and make it readily available to all of us F1 owners, I am sure each of us would all snap one up.

    Eurospares told me it's no longer available and a couple dealers told me the same. The dealers also stated it was only available to dealers.

    Even if the supply houses had one, would you burp up $700 or more for one?

    Doesn't look like much. Cylinder full of ATF fluid with a plunger and an air hose quick disconnect.

    Johnk is probably right. A modified master cylinder could be made to operate the same way.

    Some day when I am completely out of projects I might look at making something up. Don't hold your breath :)

    Bumping this thread as I located and purchased this tool along with many other factory tools including a new factory degree wheel :)

    More to come ;)

    Nice work Dave. Here's hoping you reverse engineer the thing and offer up an equivalent tool for us other F1 owners to purchase!
