The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

Got the reverse lights working . Put the new painted dash top loosely in place and started changing the heater cables- one had seized so I have had to slice the conduit to get the old one out .

Went for a drive in the sunshine

 

Took him out for a drive, first time since February

 

No, heater's in already. Ebers pump has been waiting down the back for about two years. It's about time the two were joined in heatery togetherness. Lumpy thing is a brake servo, which needs a vac hose running rear to front.

Removed old master cylinder, swapped for new ATE one I've had in a box for about five years. He put up a fight coming out. Still holds pressure, but time for a quiet retirement. Switch and reservoir will be cleaned and used on the new one.

Look at the state of that brake fluid .

 

Nice pair of VWs! What year is the Bug?

 

Mine was the old style dark version brake fluid, too.

 

I think a lot of the dark in mine was dissolved rubber seals at each end of the tube connecting top of cylinder reservoir with the reservoir in the cab.. wasn't much of those left..

New ones waiting to be swapped for the ptfe holding solution

I'll be wanting a full write up if fitting an Eber please.. got a utilities van removed one in a box waiting to go in but it's got a lot of 'spare' loom to come out

I don't think there's such a thing as "dark-style" fluid It's iron oxide from the calipers and cylinders that discolours it, I believe.

 

Yep, can do a write up. What model Ebers have you got?

If it's an old diesel one from a BT van, might be quite knackered, tho' - they lead a hard life.

 

TLB insomniacs. You should join us!

 

It's a D2.. doesn't look to bad or old.., from a works van but not BT, with a universal Ebar heat cool controller so guess that did air conditioner too..

It's a small elite group

 

An older D2L? Or something more modern?

 

I'll get the box out later..buried under 'bits to go on pile' on the back seat
