Upgrade to 912 brakes

[Jim Harrell]

I recently purchased a '67 912 that had been in storage for awhile. I replaced ALL the components of the brake system (hard lines, hoses, fittings, etc.) and decided to install the dual circuit brake master cylinder from the early 911's. I have two questions: 1) the original single circuit brake master cylinder had a sender with two spade connections for the electrics. The new dual circuit brake master cylinder has a sender with a single spade connector. How do I go about connecting the new sender to the existing wiring? The old twin spade sender doesn't fit into the hole in the new dual circuit master cylinder and there really isn't much room to add an adaptor to get it to work. 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to get the flared metal ends of the brake reservoir tubes to fit into the rubber grommets on the top of the new brake master cylinder? I'm guessing it's just a matter of applying the right amount of umph until they pop into place. What a royal pain! Thanks for any and all suggestions and advice!

Well..the fittings one the master cylinder should be the same as far as threads etc... I would try swapping out the switches. Use your old brake light switch in the new master cylinder.
and the 2nd part you got. Watch your knuckles, it'll go easy just when you dont expect it.

One of the wires is a ground (brown), just attach it to any groundable metal, Attach the hot wire to the spade on the switch.
