Like the T. Could do without the brass. Great suggestions for the brake fix. Very true about the weight problem. Without spending time and money you will probably have to live with the front end lock ups. Rebuild the system first and that might fix the problem. If not try getting a larger bore wheel cylinder. This will effectively reduce the pressure applied to the shoes and reduce the braking force. This is an old Baja bug trick to compensate for tire differences. The larger(19MM) rear cylinders went in front and the smaller(17MM) went to the rear. It supplied more rear braking for the dirt and less front end digging. Yes it seems backwards but it is the way pressures work. It might be hard to find cylinders that will work, VWs use the same bolt front and rear. If you go to discs try ECI at www.ecihotrodbrakes.com Nice parts and lets you use junkyard parts if you want. Good luck and keep posting.
