Hi, yes the system is completely new and runs correctly.
But the end stop is not correct. I have now read here on this site that the repro vacuum canisters are not 100% accurate, the push rod is said to be 3/8" too long. So some people have moved the holder of the canister a little

I applied light air pressure to the line and it got lost at the switch. I installed a new one, thanks

Thank you!
I'm currently putting it together. The lamp motors only run when I switch the valve.
Based on your expertise, I suspect that a hose on the light switch is leaking or the light switch itself is defective.

Do you also have a vacuum hissing noise on the light switch when you turn it on?
or is it definitely defective?

Here is the progress. I got a metal patch from a standard fender. I was able to adjust it so that it now fits in my RS fender

Thank you, yes i am the one who build the car. Bought her in texas from the first owner and shipped it to germany. some of the parts i order direct by summit and co, shipping is expensive, but some parts i buy here in germany are more expensive you cant imagine, four times the original price. this is the reason why rebuilding US classics here often is priceless and in the end the finished cars don't even have the same value as yours

thanks for the quick reactions!

I can tin the fender, but then it won't have the correct inner radius to the headlight.
The fender is rust free, too good to throw away.

Bryon, this is a '68 RS, but the standard fender would also help me if I... If I wasn't 16h away I would come help you with the snow :-)

After I sanded the putty, some old damage came out. Apparently there is no repair panel on the market for this area. Has anyone ever repaired this area?
