Brakeline Replacement HELP

Forgot the pic. Here is a link of what I was trying to explain.

Just remove the line and take it to the parts store with you. You'll have to do the bends yourself but they should be able to hook you up with a line that's close.

I just saw that very brakeline for sale in the new mid american motorworks catolog. Order the one for your year of beetle. (I know it's a buggy) If you want to go cheap, go to your local autoparts store and get a generic one of the same size and appropriate length.

As for the carborator, If you can follow the directions in the kit, get a carb rebuild kit. I have found them quite easy to do. Just be very careful of all the small parts inside the carb. Do the rebuild on a small tarp or cloth so you can see it all when you get it apart. Good Luck.

If I were going to do the job myself I'd build it. on a dune buggy will be fairly simple -- you will need a couple of tools -- a bender and a double flair tool. you can get a set for around $20US and up. you will also need to know the length, the size of the Inner & outer diameter of the brake line that your are replacing. you may need a helper as well as well as a measuring stick or you can use a tape measure

no - however a 009 dist will work better with a carb that was designed for use with mechanical advance i.e. if that's the stock carb! that carb was designed for use with a dist w\vacuum advance. are your valves properly adjusted???!

Will the valves not being properly adjusted affect my gas mileage ? What else will it affect ? Thanks, Iowa883

Yes!

Engine Performance issues!

no problem BBA
