g'day all

lots of effort today ended badly

1,
I need to replace the hard brake line that runs along the length of the body along the tunnel connecting the front to back on a 60 beetle

2.
I also need to replace the single circuit master cylinder after cross threading the nut

FUMING!

Cheers,

Jimmy

Ol you legend! I owe you a visit anyway

giving it a red hot go but f@#k im shitty today, I couldn't get it to start threading then it cross threaded. I was IN the bonnet trying to get it to start. Yoga aint got shit on what I did today !

Im a little calmer now, im going to see if I can tap and cut the threads and save the work ive done but feel I screwed the pooch

Hopefully I have a 10x1.0 tap n die. Right size yeah?!

Im buying a Male M8 to Female M8, tap and clean the threads, loktite the fittings in and hope she's all tight up and going good.

absolutely!

the original m/cylinder was all pitted internally so it got tossed, this one is nearly brand new inside so feel good about it
