Getting the ‘57 beetle back on the road in 2024

Wasn't that type of jack a bit on the deadly side when it got just a slight bit worn?
Yes could be, but my jack seemed to be very tight. I tried it on the car (less engine) and it worked flawlessly. It’s mostly for show and “just in case” as I would use a hydraulic jack at home.

None of those jacks were ever for crawling underneath. I hope that goes without saying.
 
Not a lot done today, but bent a hard line for the master cylinder to reservoir. Interesting at the reservoir end, the line isn’t flared and the rubber hose connecting the two together is just a slip, fit with no clamps. Not snug enough so I’ll add clamps for sure. The flared end sits in a rubber grommet so the tweaked end should be ok.
