Our 1963 Resto Custom Beetle’s brake and suspension rebuild is nearly finished! Follow along with our tech as he installs a new large bore master cylinder to feed the 4 wheels disc brakes. During the process a direct mount brake fluid reservoir will be mounted and we’ll show you how to adapt your original reservoir to the new set up. We’ll also be replacing some brake lines and cover removing and installing a new front to rear brake line.
