What's the deal here? I suspect that as your rear brake shoes have worn down your pedal travle has just increased slowly until you finally noticed something. If this is the case, you should also notice that you need to pull up on the hand brake lever farther now, too Someone need to adjust your rear brakes. Do NOT simply tighten up the parking brake cables. Jim - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA *******************************
