Hello I bought my "new" parts from a good company(BMA)www.bmaparts.com. They import German parts. I put ATE rear wheel cylinders in and Brembo disks up font. I did not replace calipers or rubber lines. I have changed the system to a dual circuit master about four years ago. I bled the system myself with a vacume pump at each cylinder. There are no leaks. The old rear whell cylinders did leak (Brazillian kind) I replaced the disks because the front wheel bearings had locked up and actually broke my spindle on the right side. The bearings were Japanese( dont know why) Maybe the vacume pump is not strong enough to pull any air bubles all the way out the rear wc? --- Steven Ayres <comwest@att.net> wrote: > DavidF=> 1966 Fasty ... new rotors ... the first > time you push down > => on the pedal it goes almost to the floor then > gets harder. > > First: > Where did the 'new' parts come from? > Why did you replace the rotors? > Did you replace the calipers as well? > How about the rubber lines? > Do you still have the original single-circuit > master? > Was anything done to that? > Are you losing brake fluid? > Did you bleed the system yourself, or have someone > else do it? > > Steven Ayres, Prescott AZ > '66 KG1600 > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | > mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Dave Fox 66 Fasty 68 Bug vert 70 Ghia vert
