Im building a LHD 57, I didn't have much to work with at the front, I need to put the hand brake and throttle tubes through to the front tomorrow, I have searched the net and starred at all the pictures I can find but can't make out where the hand brake and throttle tubes finish at the front of the bus, do they go all the way through the cross panel???, if the accelerator tube goes through the cross panel which hole does it go through, Im confused!!!
Cheers Dave

These pics are from my early 59 kombi with the shifter and hand brake closer to seat. Should be the same as 1957.

This is on our 1963 DC

1963 would have the later e-brake cable set up.

Not sure what you mean, the pictures are of a 1963 DC with the 1 ton option.

I think they were pointing out your pics are of a 63, the original poster needs 1957 type, the ebrake is farther back on the earlier style
