snow trac brake cable

Will VW bus cable and housing work on the early snow trac park brake?
my cables are good but housing is isn't the best.

You take VW Bus Cables, get a cable end kit for a dune buggy, and use 3/8 copper or aluminum tubing. It's a one time fix and works great. It helps to greese pack the tubing.
 
I haven't had much time to work on it. Been relocating antennas and getting ready to put on a roof.
I think I'll go your proven way, with copper tubing.

Here's the Link to a suppliers site that has pictures of the adapter kit one needs. http://www.berrienbuggy.com/id124.htm
It's about half way down the page. Their part number is 003169 and it's listed as an:"Emergency Brake Shortening Kit". They were created for custom dune buggies, some of which have independant right and left wheel brakes for locked wheel turns. I recomend the BUS cables as they are longer than the Bug ones. I don't actually get my end kits from this supplier, I use an outfit called OVAL'S in Fife Washington. Anybody that handles VW Air cooled and dune buggy stuff should have them.
 
Most Snot Tracters just use a big rock .:yum::yum::yum::yum:
