Welcome! You're in the right place. Just about anything you need is accessible from this site. Check the vendor links, and the tech section.

Welcom!
Always nice to have a new member join. You need to share some pictures of your ride.
RE: Master Cylinder - you have to take it apart to see if it's worth rebuilding versus replaceing.
You can purchase an "original" part from the vendors, a bit pricey, but right the first time. There are also some alternatives available. I recommend you get familiar with the Search function, it can be your friend. Also, make sure to check out and spend time with the Tech Wiki (Link at top right of every page).

I would buy a manual and read it cover to cover to understand the car and get some idea of how things work. I learned everything from a Chiltons manual and a Datsun 620 pickup. The Roadster is a good car to learn on. Nice that Ken is so close and has great knowledge as he can help give that hands on assistance. Welcome! You're gonna be buying some tools!

Riverside Ca, you could sure pick a worse place to have a Roadster and need help.

Welcome. Good looking car.
From the pics it car looks like a '68 that was registered as a '69. (no side markers, recessed license plate light)
As noted above, the tech wiki is a rich resource in addition to searching past posts. Enjoy!
