Master Cylinder Beetle '50-'53

Master Cylinder
If you are changing you master cylinder, some or all of the brake pipes may need to be re-routed. This is due to the port layout being different on the new master cylinder. The CSP mounting kits for some applications use brake pipe adapters or 2 way connectors to make the re-routing easier. When planning your brake line routing, be sure to fit the brake switch 'below' the master cylinder centre line. Otherwise air can be trapped in the system which will make it difficult to bleed the brakes.

It is also VERY important that the end play of the brake pedal pushrod is adjusted correctly. Follow the factory specifications of 1mm endplay. The pushrod can be adjusted using the thread and lock-nut on the pushrod shaft. For some applications you may have to cut the pushrod down in length.
