22mm cylinder and 9"servo help !

[Dave_P]

hi all, i`m a new member here, i been using this site to get tips on doing work on my mk1 cabriolet, wicked site, very helpful, but i need need some help in fitting an upgrade break system. i`ve fitted a 9" servo and 22mm cylinder to my car but i come across a problem. the old cylinder on the cab has 2 break lines going into it from the under side and 1 from the side (2 for the front and 1 for the rear) on the new 1 it has 2 either side, so where do i connect my lines into this ? does it matter ? is the pressure disribution ok for the lines to be connected anyway ? obviousley i`ll have to block 1 outlet, and are the lines tightend to a torq ? any insite would be great, i tried doing a search but i only come up with discusions...  i`m sure this would be good information on other petrol heads wanting to do the same.. cheers, dave..

You can use brake circuit combiners off a MK2 which will allow you to plug 4 circuits into 2 outlets, but you'll still have the brake light switch to worry about.  I think you can get a pedal mounted switch of a Scirocco?  Anyone know?

Hi

You may have sorted it by now, but if you haven't, here goes

Find a skyrocket, grab a hacksaw and chop off the brake light switch bracket, maybe grab the brake pedal aswell, (dunno if it is different)  Find the brake light switch wires from the back of the fuse box and extend them accross the dash to the brake pedal.  Drill and bolt the switch bracket to your steering support bracket.  The master cylinder should have come with two blanking screws for the outputs.  I didn't use these and re-did some of the brake lines, basicly the general rule is to have a split diagnal circuit, so if one fails you don't loose one side of braking should they fail.

Hope this helps mate
