I had some of these made of anyone needs one
Here’s the ad:

I’m planning on keeping the juiced brakes in my standard zwitter project for the moment but would like to start collecting/reproducing more cable brake stuff in the future. My car is missing most of the hardware though. If anyone has a spare pedal rod thing for inside the tunnel please let me know. Or even if I can borrow one for a month that would probably work. |

I can get you pics and overall dimensions of it. It’s not terrible to make. |

The switches show up in the TS classifieds from time to time. I purchased one for our standard last year.

I was told years ago lit was off a Kubel. But maybe it’s a Deluxe |

A Kubel cover is completely different as you can see below:
The Beetle cover with the cable cut out is for a standard model, as the brake switch is under the cover, whilst the cover without the cut out if for a deluxe model, as the brake light switch is situated elsewhere, on the brake master cylinder. |

I have a clamp on the front cables holding the outers to the backplate. Is this stock?

No, that's someone's home spun idea, no idea why.
Here is what it should look like...
I know that's a rear but the front is the same as far as the cable fitment goes.

Well, well, well. Who would have thought that? My 47 Beetle shares a part with a 911. Like finding you share DNA with a dinosaur!

It looks like this was an attempt to return the pedal when the main spring broke.
BIG thanks to the initiator and everyone who's contributed. I've found this conversation priceless  |

| I hooked it in the chassis and used a pliers to pull it forward and hook it onto the rod. I don't recall it was that hard. |

Now I’m collecting parts for my 49. I notice there are 2 types of rear back plate.
Some have 4 distinct holes for the mounting bolts and some are broken through to the centre hole. Is there a year change? Punch one hole rather than five?
