Hey folks,

What parking/emergency brake cables are folks using on early German Type 181s?

For reference mine is a 1970, swing axle, reduction boxes and late 1950s/ early 1960s Bus backing plates.

My old cables are toast.

thanks in advance for any advice Smile

Parts book lists part number 181609701A. Thing Shop lists that specifically for 69-72 181s. Didn't provide the length.

73 and up (IRS) use the 133609721 cable which lists the length as 1752.6 .

I got mine from the UK, it is the same as the "Trekker" 182 they are longer than the once for 73 onwards and they also mount differently. Mine is a 72, GRB, swing axle. Here is a video of the rear break refurbishment I recently made.
