Okay all you freaks... what handbrake cables do I need for my Country Buggy? Splitty Kombi? Early Beetle? I can't get my rear brake drums off for a while to measure/check, but I'd likle to buy the new cables...

oiroit... will do. I just don't want to be paying premium for 'special' bits for a CB when they are in fact standard VW bits from another model...
