Brake job from the devil

Long story short:

Both VB wheel cylinders defects, but I was able to file them by hand to fit. Ebay brake shoes showed up severely damaged, everyone else had them on back order. O'Reilly's screwed up one rotor and both drums, they didn't use harmonic dampeners when they cut them and them now have spirals in them. I had to bring one back already. I'm afraid to deal w/ them again.
One of the O'Reily's brake fluid bottles foil seal leaked brake fluid in the trunk of the Midget. To "top" it all off, the VB master cylinder cap won't screw on right 'cause the res is defective.

I'm done for the day.
 
Sounds like my kind of luck.
 
Some days it's best to go to sleep and try again tomorrow. Had one of those days myself today.
 
Billy,

Did you park it by Drew's vehicles?Sounds like a virus going
around.
After charging the TR6 for a day,the solenoid "clicks".Guess
I'll have to look at it after Reno.
