coupe master cylinder

[geordie]

Well, it's been a while since I've posted here....school and things have
kept me away.

Anyway...

It looks like I will be replacing the following on the '82 Coupe:

Rear drum brake cylinder
Rear brake shoes
Master Cylinder
Brake fluid (of course)

I have ordered the master cylinder, but I do not know exactly what I'm going
to be getting into with this job. I've done this before on a big old
American car, but something tells me it won't be the same on the Audi. Will
I be getting a complete master cylinder, or do I have to swap the old
reservoir onto the new one? Furthermore, will I have to buy specific seals
and gaskets that might not come with the new master cylinder? I don't want
to be caught looking for parts when I have no brakes on the car...

So does anyone have the BTDT on this job? I have searched the archives, but
I am not getting good results on this topic. I'm really only concerned with
the master cylinder, as I'm pretty sure the drum brake cylinder won't give
me any big surprises.
