The factory manual and PET show an overflow tube from the brake reservoir. None of my 914s had them so I've never seen one. Did they really exist? If so, how were they attached? I see the vent on my reservoir but no place to attach a tube. I can't see anyplace that looks like something broke off either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

To source that tube you can go to the local pet store and buy the clear tubing for the aquarium pumps.
It worked great and cheap too. I read about it from another member. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
