Anyone have advice on the best way to get the reservoir tubes and grommets into to the master cylinder? I couldn't get them to slip in with the grommets in the master cylinder so I tried pushing them on the metal tubes and then pressing them in neither way is working. I have every thing else in place.

Here's how I did it. Loosen the clamp that hold the reservoir to the bracket. You can now push both brake lines down with the reservoir attached. With the steering rack cover removed push the lines down about a foot or so. Now the lines are out in the open where you have leverage. With the master cylinder in your hand pop each line in, very easy because you have leverage. Then slide the lines up until the master cylinder is in place. Install master cylinder and then put reservoir in place and tighten clamp. This whole process took me about 10 minutes. More than one way to skin a cat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
