wait, you were drilling into the master cylinder?
I thought the restriction was in the line coming off of the master cylinder? How the hell did you break a bit?

I bought a dremel carbide tip and a buch of 1/8 carbide drill bits. Since it broke off all jagged, i ground at the drill bit with the dremel until i could solidly hold it in the center and it not walk off to the sides. Then i started re-drilling and i saw chunks of the drill bit coming out. I kept replacing bits every 30 seconds until it went all the way through and then i flushed the line a LOT. MORAL: When doing the drill mod, use the toughest bit you can find, cheap crap will break off if it catches on anything.
