Beetle Handbrake Cable - 1972-79 (1749mm Long With 550mm Conduit)

This high-quality replacement handbrake cable is designed to fit either the left (passenger) or right (driver’s) side of your Volkswagen, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the parking brake system. Suitable for Standard Beetles from August 1972 onward, 1303 Beetles from 1973, Beetle Cabrio models from 1973–1979, and Karmann Ghia models from 1973–1974, this cable provides an exact fit for a wide range of Type 1 vehicles powered by 1.2–1.6 engines.

With a 550mm conduit length and 1750mm overall cable length, this cable matches original VW specifications and installs directly without modification. The reinforced inner cable and durable outer conduit ensure smooth movement, corrosion resistance, and long service life—even on vehicles exposed to moisture, road grime, or long periods of storage.

Handbrake cables are a common wear item on classic Volkswagens, often fraying internally or becoming stiff due to age. Replacing them in pairs is strongly recommended to maintain balanced braking between the left and right rear wheels on vehicles.

Correct for vehicles from chassis number 113 2000 001 onwards, this cable is an essential component for maintaining safe parking brake performance. Two cables are required per vehicle—one for each side.
