There should only be a total of two flexi brake hoses at the rear, not three. Both rear flexi hoses connect to a hard line going to the brass union. Won't cause any harm leaving it as is though.

Great video ct! If that reservoir doesn’t have a flared end you should flare it or at least clamp on the rubber so you don’t have fluid leaking I also believe you are supposed to slide the master cylinder rubber onto the line all the way down to the end then press it in but the way you done it might work great work look forward to seeing it drive down the road

That leftover line you have is for the brass T to the drivers rear - it shouldn't have two consecutive rubber hoses. Noticed that car has a 65 only horn button, and there is no way a ball joint beam will physically fit on a kingpin chassis ( unless they changed the frame head). I say that it's a 66.

The beetle is a 65/66 model. The 1964 was the last of the "T" handle on the decklid, King Pins, upright quarter glass and also the smaller windows. Your beam looks right for the year (Link as opposed to King Pin) but the securing nuts may have been replaced with a allen key nut from a later model. Common modification and actually better in my view! Great build, keep up the good work!

Only mistake I noticed was drivers side back brake hose install at around 23 min. You have 2 soft lines installed. It should be hard line from t-junction to brake hose holder and not second flex line. From holder in frame to to second holder in axle tube soft line and from there to wheel cylinder hard line again, like in passenger side. Also think that the car is not -64. 64 should have still smaller windows/thicker window posts. I think it's -66. This can be verified from VIN. if it's -64 it starts with 9 and is shorter than after -65. In 1965 VIN changed, then it will start with 115... third number indicates year model. 116 would be -66, 117 -67 and so on.

Thank you! =) The front bearings get packed with grease. The rear bearings get gear oil from the transmission. It travels down the axle and lubes the rear wheel bearings. I put a small amount of oil on them when I was reassembling so they have a little bit the get started. When I fill the transmission with gear oil to the correct level it will travel down the axle tubes to the bearings.

Hey, quick question - what did you find out about the placement of the springs on the front shoes? I understand that the mounting plates were different but before you swapped the hardware over you had noticed that either the springs on the one that you rebuilt or the originals on the car were backwards. I noticed that you didn't change your orientation before you installed it so I am just assuming that you confirmed that you had it right to begin with. Is that what happened? And I also wanted to say that I truly appreciate your videos. I used to live in South Florida where i was quite an avid Volkswagen lover since the late '80s. I moved back up home to Central Illinois and I expanded my VW history as far as to have a chop top 70 beetle and a sand rail on a Chenowith frame with a 1641 scat motor. As of right now, all I have to do with Volkswagens is a plethora of memories and a cool VW tattoo. Watching all of your videos really takes me back because I can see myself doing these exact same jobs again. Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us and i look forward to watching more as you move along!
