944 handbrake cables

[Wally]

Hi,
I just used the beetle handbrake cable as is when I did a 1983 944 swap on my former 1303. The only thing you have to change on the 944 handbrake internals is to make yourself a new plate to which the handbrake cable is connected. The 944 part is 4 mm thick, so I sawed a 4 mm thick iron plate to match the 944 part, only made some sort of 'hook' on it, in the place where normally the 944 cable is attached, so the beetle handbrake cable can now attach itself in the 'original' way. Make sure the arch of the hook is a bit wider than the 944 part in that way, so the hook is strong enough.
Its difficult to describe this part in 3D...
I hope you can now make your own as well.
