Default "How to" for Drill mod??

Is there a how to with pics somewhere? I got a 04 Slave so I assume it already is done? What about the master??

I believe the drill mod is done only to the master cylinder not the slave.

The "drill mod" is actually not done to the master or the slave, you drill out the restriction in the braided stainless line that connects the master to the slave. There's a write up with pictures on installuniversity.com

No drill mod needed on a Vette.

The master is different than a F-body.You can't get to the line.

Careful you don't drill too far past the little metal clip. I must have nicked the inner wall of the braided line because I noticed it weeping fluid while I was bench bleeding it. I took it to Bearing Supply (a local shop) and had them cut off the ends and attach them to another braided / nylon lined line. Cost me $18, could have been a lot worse.

At least I know for damn sure there's no more restriction.
