I'm changing the master cylinder on my 1980 242 I'm getting a random soft pedal and brake failure light, I can pump it up and get brakes. Most of the time it's normal pedal and there's no fluid loss from the reservoir. I bought the leak proof octopus and now I'm trying to decide to change it now while the system is open. The original seems to be working properly and here's my dilemma, there's an autocross event Sunday I'd like to do and I'm concerned about twisting up a brake line changing out the octopus. I hosed it and the lines down with PB blaster. I guess I'll see if they break loose easily.
