brakes and fuel

[scottm]

Morning all,

I have finally purchased a 412 after selling my last over 30 years ago. The one I have bought has not left its garage since it went in in 1990 with a leaky brake master cylinder. It hasnt even started since around that time.

Its a bit crusty as you can imagine but not too bad .

My first job is I want to get it movable under its own steam so want to change the brakes and all fuel lines.

I understand there are 2 types of front calipers - I think i have both sets in the spares - are the seal kits and pads interchangeable or are they unique to each type of caliper? how do i know which i need?

I believe the m/c uses 19mm seals from a beetle ? is that correct ? which model?

Flexi hoses also I understand are beetle ones ? again which ones ?

Rear shoes - beetle ? again which model?

and lastly for brakes - wheel cylinder - any ideas re these?

for the fuel lines - what do i need to replace these?

loads of questions i know but all related . I want to order some bits and get stuck into it

Many thanks

Scott
