Beetle Rear Brake Hoses.. check Yours.
[size=4]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.
