Body to pan seal installation

Currently I am attaching the body seal onto the pan. Again, Sikaflex 221 is my best friend.  A bead of Sikaflex around the holes for the screws will help to keep the installation water tight:

The holes for the body screws have been punched out before the seal is positioned onto the pan. Some masking tape will keep it affixed until the Sikaflex has cured. 

 Maybe the body will be fit onto the pan within the next days...

high grade fine threaded bolts...

... is what you need to mount the rear shock absorbers. Luckily I know of a company nearby which provides almost every screw and nut you can think of, so I bought these:

 I use nylock nuts instead of the toothed washers which VW used in the days (all 10.9 hardware in this pic). Unfortunately you do not get everything in cad-plated / zinc finish...

the only thing missing now is 1 more drive shaft, then I can test fit the body!

everything else is finished, I also started to mount the body to pan seal!

Always a pleasure; shiny new bolts!

Thank you, Anneliese!

Today I finished the remaining brake lines. With the professional flanging tool from (Anneliese) Rothenberger it was a matter of minutes!

Well, the tool is actually not from Anneliese Rothenberger, but from company Rohtenberger - and Ralf was so kind to borrow it to me, so I have to say : Thank you, Ralf instead...

... with the right tools everything can be accomplished! 

I also redid the oddly routed brake line in the rear center, as it was too long in the first place:
before - several s-bends all over the place:

and after:

new brake line left rear:

and right rear:

Oh - and I attached one drive shaft in the mean time...

now I have to order a few nuts and bolts to finally mount the rear shocks! Then I can test fit the body!

brake lines in kit form

There are still some brake lines missing, so I ordered a 5 meter piece of non-corrosive (KuNiFer) brake line and a few end fittings. I have access to a professional brake line flanging tool. Next weekend I will try to set up the last bits for the brake system!

I'll keep you posted!

CV joints serviced

During the last weeks my work flow on the Streaker decreased a little, but I was able to dismantle and service the CV joints (at least of 1 axle):
jummy: +40 year old grease:

dismanteled:

after a good cleaning season in the parts washer and a repack:

Now, the same procedure for the axle...

New axle boots will be used as well during the assembly process!

gear box: small service

I removed the +40 year old gearbox oil (...which is always a very special treat) and replaced the input shaft seal at the same time:

... after re-assembly of the guiding sleeve I attached a reminder to fill-in new oil before the first run!

rear brakes sorted!

After Jens' comment about a wrong assembled rear brake I fixed this right away!

 ( the upper spring was assembled the wrong way - note the bended shape)

... in detail:

... and fixed! Almost exact parallel - as Ferdinand designed it!

A short check inside the other drum showed once more that Murphy's law is always valid!
What can go wrong, will go wrong!
... this spring was also not in the right position!

 ... and, also fixed! Now Jens and Ferdinand should be happy again :-)

 Note: After several trials I found out that the the black spring clip has also different positions between left and right! Due to the fact that the equalizer bar is used in LH and RH drum brakes, with the exact same shape (not symmetric opposite)  the dimple is sometimes showing up or down, so the spring clip has to be attached accordingly!
