I need some photos, as well as dimentions for the mounting bracket, on the frame head, where the hard lines, from the master cylinder, join the hoses from the wheel cylinders. I've got to fabricate and install them on my '73 Beetle frame and I have no other Beetle chassis handy to refer to.
This is for a car which will be driven, a LOT, so I'm not ready to accept "close enough".......yet Smile
Thanks for any information you can provide.
