Known as the parking, emergency, and hand brake, this system relies on three cables to do the work: one main front cable, and two rear cables.

This cable and housing is for the front section from the hand brake lever itself, back to the to balance bar where it meets the two rear cables.

Fits all years of Vanagon, 2WD and 4WD.

Perfect fit/replacement including the little plastic part that snaps into the frame to hold the whole thing in place.

OK, but..

Thanks for making this cable available, seriously. However, the rubber boot that fits under the hand brake/floor is really pretty flimsy and nothing like the OEM. It is hard to make a water-tite fitting to the floorboard with this boot. This would be fine if the front pin fitting (the part that attaches to the hand brake handle) could be unscrewed from the shaft. That way, I could have used my OEM boot, which was still in perfect condition, and it's material makes it easy to secure it completely to the floorboard hole. But again, thanks for making this cable available because mine was a rusted mess.
