The al spacers will not work with the al trailing arms. How do I know.....well I got them and they do not fit. You have to get the steel spacer that Kerscher sells with their rear disk brake to shorten the cable. They are placed on top of the tube for the e-brake cable that sticks out the frame horn.
You can use the cable ends.....the are the same for all 924/944 and 951 conversion I believe. The is a pic in the gallery that show a modified plate that replaces the Porsche plate to adapt original beetle e-brake cables. I got them from Kummetat thru Oliver Knuf.
To make a long story short.......after trying to put my e-brake together I recommend to use the original Porsche plate and to get the Kerscher cable ends since they actually attach to the plate with a pin and will not come loose when trying to put the cable in the tube to the e-brake handle. You can then shorten the original Beetle cable to the length you need and crimp on the Porsche cable ends. You will not need the spacer then. I think that it is 40$ well spent. Ask Shad from LN Engineering about this....I gave him my cable ends I got from Kerscher because I have the MBT or Kummetat kit. There is no guess work with the Kerscher cable ends. You just need to measure how much you need to cut off the original beetle cable and crimp the cable end on to it and you are done.
Sandeep and I wasted about 2 hours taking the e-brake apart to put the original cable end back onto the plate when we tried to feed the cable thru the tube to the handle. It is a bigger pain in the *** with the al trailing arms.
