|
Hi all. New to the forum and just got a 69 fast back.. have had bugs years ago.. I am having issues finding rebuild kit for my brake master cylinder. Or any suggestions for changing it out.. the car has had disc brake conversion on rear and still has original brake master.. is that good enough or is there a upgrade or change over that would be better?????
Thanks |

measure the bore, I bought one of the kits from the local napa, mine was an original FAG cylinder. I had to change the piston for the original, but all the seals were correct, and it's been in there 10 years. _________________ http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/jim_martin_engine_build.php
