Beetle Rear Brake Hoses.. check Yours.

While restoring My 68AutoBug, after fitting the Master Cylinder and new front brake hoses ,and just cleaning out the brake lines before installing the new rear cylinders etc.... I found one of My rear Brake Hoses was blocked... probably collapsed. Now because these Rear Brake Hoses are NOT screwed into the rear of the brake Cylinder , they are forgotten about... Yours probably need replacing too...

I got trapped by this, till I tried to bleed the brakes and then went checking why nothing was coming through.
I think the rubber perishes and swells blocking the inside hole.
I would imagine they need replacing well before the 40 years age that mine are.
Cheers.

mmm only go german ones! i wouldnt trust my life and those of others on something that gets made by people who get paid piecemeal.
