I have just fitted 76' beetle trailing arms (complete with handbrake cables) into my 68 semi auto. The problem is that the handbrake cables seem about 5cm too short !!!
I thought all IRS beetles would run the same length cables, is this not the case ???

How many types are there ?

Cheers

several different cables were used,
the 68 semi auto cable is 60mm longer than the 76 ones.

what do you need cables for?
i thought brakes were for pussies.

cables would be unnecessary if you drove it like you stole it!

2 reasons I need a handbrake

#1 Hairpins
#2 Parking

I do handbrake turns in the beetle all the time. Are there any long term side effects from this, other than increasing muscle size in left forarm? :o

Another long term side effect would be decreasing cash in the wallet due to replacing prematurely worn tyres.

stretched/broken cables !!
