Re: Kombi Handbrake extension
I'll ask the question that all the Fleetline owners are scared to ask,because of fears of harassment. Will this work on a Fleetline?

blitz, it's most likely you can't afford one, so don't bother asking.

Camping is cheaper than therapy.

Re: Kombi Handbrake extension
May look nice, but my concern is that the extension- knob may get in the way of the gearlever.
Never found anything wrong with the position of a split kombi's handbrake lever position, (teached myself to drive at age 11 on my mother's 65 split kombi.)
However, on an early beetle, i find the clutch pedal way too close to the brake pedal,(have big feet), so i prefer to use a later pedal assembly, as practicality is important to me. Even if it means making another plan with the floor mounted dipswitch.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
