As a bid of a foreward, I am helping a friend repair his 67 sedan. We replaced the master cylinder after I got some used spacers for the bolts from mario, and then we hooked up all the hydraulics. I had decided previously that we should replace the blue sections of the lines running to the master cylinder(they looked BAD..cracked etc) from the reservior. Talk about a PITA, got that all worked out, poured in some brake fluid in preparation to bleed the system...brake fluid begins leaking out of the reservoir.
Now apparently 67 beetles were the only year beetle to use a dual fitting reservoir mounted behind the spare tire. 66 and earlier used one line, and from what I've been told it's quite a bit smaller than the line used for the 67. 68 on up has it mounted high in the fender well area.
What are my options for fixing this? I would imagine every used 67 reservoir is going to be in equally-crappy shape in terms of brittle plastic. How do I go about fixing this new problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.
