Procedure:a) Remove the brake box. Remove original brake pedal stop from brake box and discard. Remove the front and rear metal brake lines from the car, the two rubber fill lines from the reservoir to the cylinders, and then the front and rear master cylinders and pushrods. These parts will not be reused. The brake lines must be replaced as the original metric fittings will not fit the new Tilton cylinders, and the brake stop is only needed with the VW cylinders, and will interfere with the Tilton units. Replace the pedal stop with the 3/8" bolt and washer provided.
d) After attaching the bracket to the frame rail as directed and repainting the bracket and chassis on the affected areas, install the new brake lines provided in this kit. Note that the red fittings install into the master cylinders. Be sure the rubber bushings are properly located, and that the frame tabs hold the brake lines securely and without damage.
Note! Early cars use bronze bushings instead of the needle-bearing assemblies shown. e) Loosely install the rear cylinder (3/4") on the inside of the bracket, closest to the frame rail. |
