Hi Everyone!
Check out this beautiful Porsche 356C! Our good friend dropped it off for a bit of routine service, but watch and see what little nasties I encounter. We'll get it completely sorted, but this is Part 1. Brakes. Enjoy!
Love these cars, the red looks so good!
Thought you both may enjoy this--th-cam.com/video/qXL1gbI3BXI/w-d-xo.html
The Sponge Bob intermission s are a classic touch! Love your videos!
I just love the old 356 models. Glad this one is getting Franny's TLC. Thanks for posting.
Thanks David!
Yes!! Franny will get it sorted out.
That is one gorgeous 356C
I don't know why I never thought to wire up the catch can! Much better process than having that thing hanging around and spilling all over. Thanks for the tip!!!
Fabulous video. Both of you rock!
Thanks!
I think we all knew you would be great to have as a friend and this video is proof. Not just the fact that you provided help, but conscientious help. It was great to have Heidi appear as well.
Thanks John!
I love this video. I enjoy all your videos but this is especially relevant to my 356 Porsche. Thanks Franny! You explain things so well.
Yea! Thanks!
Great video - thanks!
Almost 20k!!! Great job ladies! That is a beauty of a 356... love it!
Thanks! Getting there!
Another great video! I love the clarity of your instruction. Can't wait for the next installment.
Thanks so much!
FYI Just did the brakes on my Mercedes and I found "speed bleeder valves" that have one way check valves built into them. Made changing the brake fluid so easy. Highly recommend them.
I've heard of those. They do sound very handy. Thanks for the tip!
I use some of them made by a german company called ‚Stahlbus‘. I am not quite sure, if they are common in the U.S., but they help me a lot in the maintenance of my bikes. For the highest needs, some sizes are available in titanium, too.
Another great video.... I've got a feeling Franny is a mechanical engineer ?
Close! Aerospace...
Nice new "series". As always you've done excellent job in this beautiful car ! Greetings from Greece!
Love this car, someday I'll find one... 😃😃
Glad to hear that. Franny and I often contemplate how this will go over. We have to organize an area for the 3.2 Carrera parts and film and that will take some time. We always want to keep the content coming, so we switch it up sometimes because we have to. Thanks. Heidi
Very cool! I enjoyed watching and learned something new, as always. Thank you!
Thanks Pat! It was great you got to see it in the garage!
Great video, ladies. You two have a wonderful weekend.
Hi franny: thanks for a great presentation on this 356C. You are truly a magical person. The way you relate to things mechanical is awsome. It seems you are functioning under the aegis of some mystical. Power. The way you gravitate to the task at hand is a joy to belold. I look forward to additional presentations in the future. I wish you all the best. Sincerely, Bruce Miller
Thanks for the kind words Bruce :)
Nice project with two nice lady's
Great tutorial, thanks.
Very informative. I just bought a 2001 996. Looking forward to learning how to take care of it. Can't wait for your next video.
Very nicely explained, thank you.
Thanks!
Granny great show, can you show us a clip of you playing the trombone in your salsa group my daughter also plays the trombone.
Hi Franny, please look on the pedalbox, many 356 have problems with mastercylinder inside leaking... Note: The copperwasher thickness on the Calipper has 2mm.... Sorry, bad english😉🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Thanks. I'll take a look.
Great video! You girls are inspirational! Looking forward to updates on the Carrera.
Thanks so much!
This series will be super interesting.
That plastic fuel tank cover is used on all T6 cars not only Cs, my 1962 T6B Karmann Coupé has it also. I've had a similar dual brake circuit conversion done to the car using a later VW master cylinder that fits right in. Having that kind of reservoar would be nice, now have it on top of the master cylinder and it is a pain checking the level. Now going for one of the last drives this season before winter comes here in Scandinavia.
Good job!!!
Thanks Chris!
That's a beautiful car !!
My pass side door window is down and won't go up. (1964 356SC) Handle just spins. Can you do a video on how to remove the door panel and fix the door mechanism. Much appreciated. I'm subscribed and love your videos.
Great job. Lovely 356 too :) Looking forward to the next one in this series :)
Nice video. I have to do my MGB in the near future. Always good to have a refresher on the steps.
Loved the video !
Back in the day, we used to say that a bent hood had been "Gas Station Attendentaized".
Lol
My dream car! Another great video. TY🙏
Beautiful car.
Hi Franny, once again another great video.
I plan to do this shortly to my 64C after a long restoration period and this will definitely make the process easier to do.
I was a little concerned with regards to the metal flared pipes that simply push into the rubber grommets on the master cylinder on my car.
It just seems like it is loose and could pop out with road vibration, seeing you place yours in the same manner gives a little more confidence that this is normal. Just seems a little odd though that these are not more secured.
Agreed...
Another great vid, very informative 😊
Really enjoy your channel!
Thanks!
Looks like a 944 brake upgrade, nice.
Well, the C cars actually had disk brakes as standard. It is probably the biggest difference between the T6B and the T6C. Porsche nomenclature is a bit crazy...
@@HeidiandFranny Wow! rear disc brakes on a sixties car, that is well ahead of it's time. Such a beautiful car.
👍 👍 👍
how do you manage to stay so clean?, i only have to walk past the garage and ii look like pig pen.
ps folks, brake fluid reservoir level will go down without a leak but due to pad wear, slightly.
Hello, what kind of master cylinder is this? Is this a VW Beetle?
I hope your kitty is doing okay.
Oh, thank you. Unfortunately she passed away about a year and a half ago at close to 20 years old. She was a great kitty even though she had a rough start to life. We will always miss our Ginner.
@@HeidiandFranny I'm sorry to hear that and for bringing it up.
Franny
Why was it green ?
Franny,
Need to purchase brake parts for my 356. Who is a reliable source that you have used.
That is a great question actually... This will be our next project after the 308. I'm not sure but it may be Stoddard or Sierra. I want the pads with a little extra material on them. I would like to find some higher quality wheel cylinders too.
Some cars specify only dot3, if you put in them dot 4 you will have rubbers degrading and leaking !
Are you thinking of DOT5 or 5.1? Those are a big no no. The fluid I used specifies it is for all DOT3 and 4, just not for brake systems that use mineral oil.
Don't laugh, but: when you're draining the old brake fluid it appears to be amber colored in the tube yet blue in the bottle. And Franny, I think you even remarked on the dark color of the old fluid? Is the tube itself amber colored or is something mysterious happening?
It is really dark huh... The tube is silicone so pretty opaque. My guess is that with how much is in the bottle it just looks darker and the camera messed with the color a little. Ohhh the brakes on that car...
It is so hard to find any information on these 356c disc brake emergency brake systems...but I am down to just figuring out how the emergency cable mounts to the bump stop bracket...I thought is was a grommet...but the grommet appears to be to the dust cover. If you or anyone could help with pictures or just simple information on how it mounts at that location...seems to have a hole there and the cable end as an indent...hoping someone can help, would greatly appreciate it.
Do you have the Porsche Shop Manual for the C cars? Is there not enough info there? Also there the Elfrink as well. You might try posting your question to the 356 Registry forum. Those guys know everything...
Had no idea any auto manufacturer was using "slip" fittings for hydraulic brake lines into the master cylinder, let alone a German one. What possible reason could they have had not to use threaded/flared fittings? Seems like something out of the 1930's.
I guess there is hardly any real pressure... I think this is possibly an aftermarket master cylinder (dual circuit), but the C cars do have a remote res so they must have a line down. I did see that grommet labeled for C cars. Oh, that was the reason I didn't try to pressurize it ;)
Fully restored car? Those do not seem to be stock 356 wheels.
I think it is sort of "Outlaw" flavored...
Nice video, as usual. What is the name of the place from which you ordered the Copper washers? You said it once, but I am not sure that I understood right and could not find anything with the name that I think I heard...
Stoddard.
Thank you
