this reminds me,

I talked with this guy about his disc brake kits,  because the PO has 
installed an empi kit for a type1 on my car, and the parking brake 
cables didn't really work out.

The disc brake caliper requires the parking brake cable to go further 
back and in a different direction,  he hinted that his kit has cables 
that do work on a type 3, and that they are manufactured by VW of 
america, but he wouldn't tell me more, said it was his secret.

He said I would need to get an extension for the cable guide and have 
someone make custom cables, but his kit, looks like it has very similar 
placed calipers, as my empi kit.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what he might be using? I'm thinking 
perhaps it's a type 2 parking brake cable or something, but that seems 
like it might be too long.

I still have plenty of things to take care of.  [ raise it, hydraulic 
clutch working, being important ones. ].
