Thing Questions
« on: June 08, 2011, 07:00:48 PM »
 Alright...a few Thing questions for tomorrow night. The car in question is a '73.

1) Speedo cable Length - Anyone know? Will a '73 1302 cable work?

2) Brakes - Anything different I need to know between adjusting thing brakes vs. beetle?

3) Front hood release - The hood is very difficult to lock down...and pops up on the highway (thank goodness for safety latches!) Ideas/common issues?

Thanks in Advance...

1) 1390mm.  Super cable is the one.

2) Have both here, can't see any difference on the adjustment.

3) The Samba is your friend: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=451926&highlight=hood+release

Good luck.

Hood.. You should be able to adjust the position of where the clamshell lever catches.. it may need to be moved forward, or down.
