Using my copper wire again, I am constructing the driver’s front brake line. Once the line if fit and bent, I will flair the ends (making sure to put the fittings on first). The line has been constructed and is ready for install.
I have finished my hard brake line from the ABS pump to the front passenger side flex line. I used a #10 bare copper wire to get the shape of the hard line and then transfered the bends to the hard brake line tubing.
Brake work continues. I now have the ABS unit plumbed to the master cylinder. Once I have the flex lines attached, I must run the hard lines from the ABS unit to the flex lines. This will take some time to get everything right.
With the anti-lock brake pump, the brake plumbing is a bit more difficult. There are quite a few lines to create and this will take a long tome to complete.
I now have the clutch master cylinder rebuilt as well as the slave cylinder. I have installed and filled up the system with hydraulic fluid and it is all working good. Now I just have to finish up the brakes.
I can now start reinstalling all of the foot-box gear. I have started with the clutch master cylinder. I am rebuilding both the brake and clutch master cylinders. Everything is coming together now.
With the body and frame merger complete, I can now start the reinstallation of the footbox items. After cleaning and painting the footbox components I have bolted everything back into place. I sealed the box up with silicone and am now ready to reinstall the steering wheel and pedals.
Body and frame are as one. I am reviewing all of the body to frame fasteners. Now I can really start building for good.
I now have the VW bug body completely down on the chassis. The body is held to the frame with 32 fasteners. So far so good.
