THE BAY GETS BRAKES - Classic 1975 VW Bus Brake Repair

Taylor gets back on Oscar the Bus to try and sort the brake system. Of course, it turns into a mess.

It’s about time you took a short trip in your bus….I enjoy watching you stop and pick up the pieces that fall off!😂. I’ve seen several things pop up on my YT where people build waste oil heaters. Maybe try that for a little heat in the shop🥶 maybe use all the oil from the oil changes you do.

Watching this episode makes me miss my 73 bus, that I sold over 25 years ago.😕

Getting one step closer to back on the road. That's a nice-looking Bay. Looks like very minor rust. Please keep us in the loop, on the progress, as much as you can. Thanks for the video.

And this video shows me i made a good purchase years ago when i bought what today is called a bullworker steel bow, i bought it at a flee market for $5 back in the 80’s and everyone asked me what for and i say it is my brake peddle assistant, it keeps a constant pressure on the pedal while I’m bleeding the brakes.And has never caused issues with any driver seat i used it on. Long winded explanation sorry. Love the video, maybe a heated vest , i need one too for these northeast cold days.42 degrees in Saratoga yesterday for me.

One way valve - drawing vacuum from manifold to assist the servo. Got one / it’s working? I learnt the hard way mine wasn’t working just vac leaking effecting tuning for years

I like Volkswagen brakes!

[@dalewyatt1321]

What temperatures are you working in? I'm in the southern hemisphere currently in summer and still not inspired to do maintenance on my Notch.

It gets exceptionally cold in my shop, even if it’s a little warmer outside. We’ve had a string of 10-20° days, it was about 30° outside when I filmed this, about 22° in the shop. Had many layers and my heated sweatshirt on, as well as the propane torpedo heater which doesn’t do much.

[@wickedwerks]

Providence, Rhode Island
