Wheel cylinders





Some consultant to restore old VW Beetle advised me about the money to be prepared, 3,000,000 yen was the price. He tried to attract my intentions to his world, but the differences in values had separated us, not visiting him in future. Also he didn't tell me about the technique to disassembling rear trailing arm constructions that is complicated and requiring special technologies supported by know hows, because of trade secrets.
He must have taken me not as a layman but as an professional a bit in the field. Anyway he tried to pay plenty of money to him for restoring old Beetle showing the samples of restoring another old cars. His words and actions ascribed me too poor behavior to appeal himself.
About the door hinge correction, it became clear that the construction is different from Japanese ones, door itself must be replaced if I wanna do that perfectly. The hinge holder thickness adjustment by grinding may be effective, judging from the disign.
The distributor needs vacuum advancer in the situation of Legal Inspection by the administrator imported by the regular importer.
So centrifugal advance only 009 distributor without vacuum advancing construction would not pass the inspection regarding by the inspector as an illegal modification, this was an important information for my future stage.
Today I'm going to replace all the wheel cylinders, all the brake hoses and break master cylinder, pre-checkin and greasing were the tasks yesterday.
Written in the evening:
Cylinders prepared are all genuine Ate, only right sides were changed today, residual tasks would postponed to next trial,exhausted.
Considerable brake fluid pilling was recomended inside of frontal drum, cleaned with acetone sponged soft papers into dry condition.
Blunk key was arranged into new spear key by hand filing technique.
Also EMPI "HURST" shifter was applied with some modification, removing side spring guiding sift lever toward 3rd and 4th position. This modification may invite the loose positioning and may cause shift position stability, unintentional position change to neutral, actually experienced about 40 years ago on VW 1200 LS Beetle.
