GOT2B GM Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I would be very interested in the dwg file as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyfloyd Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 That's pretty slick swap. The dwg file would be quite useful. Wish I still lived near the junkyard, so I could help and source parts for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurup Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Shurup, how is Your rebuild? Did You update Your website? Â Everything is fine, but I work a lot and so little time left on the car. I painted all the components for assembly http://www.drive2.ru/l/4305055/ Disassembled for washing brake cylinder. To connect the tubes to the front wheels, I decided to carve adapters http://www.drive2.ru/l/4337371/ If anyone is interested, I cut the accumulator http://www.drive2.ru/l/4305115/ Â I plan to finish all the work and take a ride this Saturday.

GnatGoSplat Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Copper brake lines isn't safe, but copper-nickel alloy is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurup Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 These tubes are sold in special shops for brake systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 We have a product here in Canada which is marketed by FMSI which is a copper/nickel/iron brake line, great for resisting corrosion, Â as long as what you have there is a similar tubing (it sure looks like all copper) you should be safe.

Heartbeat1991 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Too bad it would cost so much to ship the old PMIII. Otherwise I would buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern8tion9l Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 We def need a good write up on the brake conversion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Someone on the TGPForums suggested taking this route with a swap years ago. Nice to see someone else come up with that idea and actually implement it. This would be the way I would go if I were to vacuum swap a car, though I would use brake lines off another W' since access to them here is abundant and they're all relatively rust free. Shurup's location no doubt makes swapping lines from another W' unfeasible though. Great job on the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
