Has anyone been able to install a Z1 master cylinder brace?
 
I've spend a few hours trying to thread the 3 screws in to hold the brace in place. The instuctions over simplify the install. I've tried multiple tools and wrench extensions with no luck. Is it actually possible to install without removing the master cylinder? It's probably going to be a $90 paper weight.

It took me close to an hour to install mine. I used a long extension and a swivel. I also put electrical tape on my hex socket to hold the bolt while I positioned the bracket with my left hand. I put the outside bolts in first and i never could get the center one to align. I tried my best but ended up cross threading it and i just left it out. i felt i difference after the install.

Use some gummy substance to hold the screws in place while you have someone with small hands thread them into the car.

It was a PITA to install, but definitely helps.

So you guys that have one have actually noticed a difference? Seems kinda unbelievable to me as the brakes are still super strong without, especially with the track pads in.

I already had Stainless lines, But I could feel a tad bit of play in the pedal. After installing the brace, the play almost un-noticeable.
