Spyder style e brake

Would anyone be interested in a Spyder style e brake handle supplied cadnium plated and ready to retrofit to any VW pan based Speedster or even a Spyder with the original VW e brake? I could manufacture a few sets if some interest. No costing as yet but will be very reasonable with shipping.

I'd be interested, if the price was right...

Same here

Peter:

Any chance this would work on a tube frame IM?

If the price was right, yes

Peter, how would your e brake lever install? Is it a bolt-on process and then hook up the cables? Or do you need to modify the tunnel to attach the retro e brake lever?

I looked at your photos, and yes, I hope you also develop the induction shroud al la Carrera for louvered engine lids. I wonder about the available space from the top of the air cleaner to the shroud opening. It would be nice to not draw in engine compartment heated air. I wonder if it would be too much of a good thing during a rain storm though.

Good luck on both projects. Look forward to seeing the results. If the price is right count me in (for both).

It's as simple as taking off the leather/rubber boot around the lever, loosen off the cables, take off the pivot pin circlip, push out the pin and then slip out the complete lever. Reverse the proceedure for the install. Should take about 15 minutes.

They will fit an IM if IM used a VW brake off the donor car.
I think there are 2 styles of VW handles. The one I have has a "spike"on the top where the handbrake cable mounts(1976) but not sure about the ealier ones. I'll grab the 2 different styles and post the images.

Great. That answers that. A rough guestimate on price?

What about the Carrera shroud idea?

me too!

Peter,

I would be interested in the e-brake. I have been looked for an alternative to the plastic one that came with my car. Please advise me if you are going to produce the brake. I will buy one.
