Hi Clive
I actually managed to use stock length cables in my 1st set-up, I bolted the Beetle handbrake cable to the stock 944 swan neck and altered the length of the 944 handbrake tube that goes into the backing plate to get it correct.
My 944 set-up in my daily 1303 works OK as parking brake, but I always let the car settle and give it another click, I would fit a hydraulic handbrake if I felt the need for it.
I agree the sliding type callipers are a compromise, I've even heard of OEM brackets bending when doing handbrake turns.
I will see how well the 944 lever and cables work in my new 1303.
Steve
