Hi Grtz,

Thank you for the explanation about the speedo. I guess its the same as the kph speedo I have in my Mercedes. Isn't it supposed to read in kph (as well as MPH) in Begium?

I also have a hydraulic handbrake on the rear of the Beetle that powers the main Porsche 928S4 calipers. But I thought it was a requirement Europewide to have a mechanical hand brake as the emergency/parking brake? My hydraulic handbrake uses the normal handbrake lever to operate the cylinder in a similar fashion to yours but it also still has the cables attached to operate the 944 handbrake shoes. I expect that the mechanical part won't do much on mine as the hydraulic circuit will lock up before the mechanical part does when I get around to filling the system with fluid, so the mech system is a bit redundant. It at least complies with the regulations.

Clive
