Yea AMS basically said they didn't like the Magnus setup because it doesn't sit perfectly flush against the firewall like theirs does and then causes the angle to be undesirable.

I can't be the only one who is this unlucky though if its a design flaw. I would think tons of people would have an issue. I only have like 5-6k miles on the thing.

PS. the brake bleeder is boss. So easy. However, I didn't realize at first you needed to twist the cap onto the reservoir lol, so it started leaking a lot when I put pressure on there haha.
