well I was able to get the fronts working, kind of... I had to clear the lines ans there were plugged up with sludge. next pulled a vacuum direct from the bottom of the master. when I had fluid moving I filled the brake lines from the wheels then reconnected the line to the master. Then the pumping started. It is still coming out dark fluid from the wheel cylinders I think. I will keep flushing out till I get a nice clean fluid. I have to adjust the brake shoes too. I think that will give it a firm brake. I still have to do the rears, mount the seat and frame, lights and radiator. I will test fire it after that is done. Check fuel pump flow. I did rebuild the pump but not 100% sure it was done correctly. The kit came with 2 extra gaskets that were not on the pump but the original pump gaskets were thicker. I doubled up to give it the same profile. I found come clear rock guard bed liner spray. I will test an area and see how it looks. The spray paint is not very resistant to damage lacking in a hardener. I cleared over the vin so you can read it. that is harder than the paint. I'm really liking the green color. I should have welded a mount for the flag. Where do I pull the power for the water pump from? I'm not sure the ignition is designed for a larger amp pull. I guess I could direct wire a relay and tie it into the ignition.
Adjusting both of the brake shoes so that they are tight against the drums makes for easier brake bleeding. Once the handle is firm, adjust the shoes so there is a slight drag, just like VW brake drums.
To mount the flag, simply use one of the holes in the bracket that the upper air box is mounted to.
If memory serves me correct, I switched relay on and off with the black wire that runs from the ignition switch to the regulator
rectifier and tapped the hot side from the battery. You can tap the switch wire at the point where it runs up the frame just below the regulator rectifier.
I used the schematic below just replacing the lights in the diagram with the water pump and of course, the toggle switch in the picture would actually be the key switch.
