JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Parking Brake & Heater Controls Installation

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/

We are wrapping up the installation of all the control cables on the chassis for our 1971 Euro Look Super Beetle. First we re-install the disc brake conversion kit parking brake cables, and the handle. Then we install the rear foot well control and heater box cables and levers. There isn’t much to it but knowing what tube in the chassis goes where is helpful!

Whenever possible we reuse the original parts and hardware. All original hardware was cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner with degreaser then scrubbed and rinsed. All metal hardware was then soaked in vinegar and scrubbed with a wire brush to eliminate any rust, rinsed and then soaked in oil to protect the metal. Large parts were cleaned with degreaser, soaked in vinegar and then when appropriate, painted to protect the finish. This is why we say save your hardware, there is no sense in replacing hardware, especially original hardware if it can be restored and reused!
