TheSamba.com :: View topic - 59 Panel clutch cable and throttle conduit tubes missing

Sun Jan 29, 2023 2:37 pm

Hi all,

My new to me 59 panel is missing the conduit for the clutch and throttle cables. A PO painted the bus, and in the process removed all kinds of stuff, including the tubes for the clutch and throttle cables

What can I use for the tubes?
Where do they start and end?

Thank you!

PS I do not mean the Bowden tube

I had that same issue to deal with on my Frankenbus. All of the tubing was jacked up from the nose being torched off. Wolfsburg West has this diagram and the tubing you need.

I can figure out where the clutch tube ends by the length of the bowden tube, but where does the accelerator tube end? I know I've seen it on other buses loads of times, but I just can't remember.

It ends really close to the torsion tube. If I remember correctly, all of the WW tubes come in the correct lengths.
