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?!

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
