When I got my 66 the previous owner had disk brakes on the front (which I returned to stock drum brakes). They had changed the master cylinder to a dual circuit. However, they kept the original single circuit brake fluid reservoir and put a funky T connection down by the master cylinder, which really takes away the additional safety that a dual circuit master cylinder provides should you develop a leak. I had to change that master cylinder last year and so I installed an appropriate 2 line brake fluid reservoir at the same time. If I were to do this over again, I’d most certainly pull the gas ..read more

I think the concern is with the drum brake wheel cylinders needing a residual pressure valve vs the disc brake calipers not needing residual pressure. Or more so, if residual pressure is present, the calipers would stay clamped... though idk how much. Also, if residual pressure is not present... the wheel cylinders would require you to pump the brake pedal to expand them. This is just my understanding on this... could be wrong ofcourse.

I'm getting ready to put in a 4" narrowed beam with disc brakes conversion. My question is do I need to upgrade the stock master cylinder? I recently replaced the MC when doing a 4-wheel brake job and I'da rather not got to the larger 19mm dual circuit if I don't have to. Follow up Q: if I am able to to stay with the stock 17mm MC, do I need to add a larger reservoir to it (the one that sits on the MC)?

Hello all, I heard that if I'm searching for an original German rear fender to perfectly fit my 1966...I could expand my search to 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965 because the fenders from 1962 to 1966 are interchangeable...is that correct? Are they truly identical in shape and have the correct holes for 1966 tail-lights? Thanks for the attention, D Statistics: Posted by Seibert66 — Sun Feb 25, 2024 1:40 am ..read more

Here is my original 1966 VW. I inherited it from my late father over 20 years ago, and recently started to work on getting it roadworthy again. It’s a nice straight, no rust original sunroof car, just worn patina and age issues from sitting. I’ll have it back on the road this spring hopefully.
