Handbrake cable size
Hi all.
Just having some trouble finding the right size handbrake cable for my 67 beetle. Vollks are offering a 68 and 72 inch but apparently there are allot
mor than just two sizes. Also have heard that the longer (72") ones are for IRS and shorter (68") ones for swing arm setups.
Just wanted to be sure before I order a new one.
If all else fails I might just pull the other one off and measure that, which seems like I'll have to do that anyway as I've also been told that it
is advisable to replace both at the same time to avoid weakness.
If anyone could provide some clarity that would be great
Cheers
Joe |

I think you will find an Aussie '67 is the same as a Euro/German '64 and earlier. The Euro models changed the tunnel in '65 and went to the lever
heaters on the handbrake; Aussie VWs did not.
Get the one for '58 to '64.
