 Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:34 pm Post subject: shortened buggy parts |
 |
|
I am building my first Manx style buggy and I need a source for parts to fit the shortened pan like shortened brake cables, brake lines and the other things.
Is there a source for these parts or will this have to be a do-it-youself experiment in shortening a VW.
All help appreciated.

I think Locash John sells a variety of shortened cables and such. He is a regular here. Try contacting him.

X2. It's actually Lester at LoCash Racing who will get the cables for you. Here's the link to their site for ordering:
www.locashracing.org/
I have their shortened brake and clutch cables and they work perfectly. Did I mention they have a lifetime warranty? Not a commercial, just a thought....
Now, if someone only sold shortened shiftrods...
