if you are talking about adapting the e-brake cable end, do a search. there are several solutions. the best, imo, is to reform the 944 lever into a goose neck to attach to the stock VW e-brake cable.

Zen,

Do you have any pics of your emergency brake set-up?

Thanks,

Sorry about that, there site is www.kerschertuning.de and there beetle stuff is listed at the top under (vw-kafer)... the site IS in German though.

BTW, there is a GREAT list of german look sites (parts..ect) under the GermanLook home page in the links section.

I'll put in my request for the article. I have a full 944 brake set and the only think keeping me from being ready to install is the e-brake setup.

I don't mean to hijack the post, but I have those pieces in the works. I'm getting them laser cut and those guys are really dragging their asses. Hopefully have something to offer by the end of next week.
