Subject:      part # for e-brake handle?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Can someone with micro fiche or access to ETKA or just knowledge help me out. (If i had ETKA, which I don't of course, what kind of computer screen can handle the resolution that program needs?)

the question:

I purchased a dress up handle for the parking brake on my Vanagon. I believe some of the later busses had this feature. It's just a plastic grab handle from VW that slips over the parking brake metal lever and dresses it up a bit. Mine came stock as just the metal lever like on the beetles.

The handle is plastic and has finger grooves underneath and is black. the one I got is for the Fox

part number  305 711 327 1 05

Probably too many numbers, but you get the idea.

Does this match the part number for the Vanagon or Westy? I can make the one I have fit but if there is one that is more correct--that will just snap on-- I'd rather go that way.

thanks in advance
