Left cable for standard Beetle (1964-77) or Super Beetle (1971-72)
Right cable for standard Beetle (1964-77) or Super Beetle (1971-72) Both are in stock. I assume CIP ships overseas. The so-called "standard" Beetle is the US name for a 1300 and the flat-screened Super is more universally known as the 1302. (The 1303 takes different cables.) Finding usable used or NOS cables would be a test of patience.

 I knew that the 1303 uses different ones, and as I wasn't sure about names used in the USA, I called mine "1300" to avoid this misunderstanding. What do you think guys about the price? Is it (60$\piece) a good price for it in the States? On the thesamba.com I found a new pair (NOS) but it is for 180 $ which seems extremly high for me. One of my friend has just bought a used set but in very good shape for 40 euros on ebay..so really don't know what to do because I don't have time to waste...

I think going with NOS is always better. Is it $60 better and worth the added risk? That's a value judgment that you will have to determine.
Personally, I'd go with CIP because I have always been satisfied them and their products. I have yet to have had a bad experience with buying something from someone on the Samba but the higher degree of risk is undeniably there.

You were right: this is really a test of patience!! I'm very nervous at the moment
 Finally I found a used pair in very good shape on ebay (from Canada). Than I asked an ebay member to place a bid on it + I spoke with my friend's brother who is living in NY to bring it to me... BUT we weren't allowed to bid on it because it was for "shipping only in Canada + US" and the seller didn't answered on my mail... What more could I do? :shrug: So I missed it, and it was selled for 58$ in pair!!!
