I had to fix the brake handle on my 72 super beetle, the button was pushed way in so I had to reset the cats paw! I discovered the root cause, the cables were not running under the shoes on the back of the handle, they must have popped off and were just running under the pivot pin! The previous owner apparently didn’t understand what was wrong and had run the adjustment nuts all the way in to the end of the threads! So putting the cables on correctly after backing the nuts off and resetting the cats paw, it all works well again!

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Oh wow!!! I never had that happen before. I’m actually going to pin your comment to the top so other see that. Thank you for taking the time to comment and explain that situation I truly appreciate it.

Just had this happen on my 72 Beetle the other day while on a drive around the block. This video saved me a lot of head-scratching and kept me from procrastinating on yet another project! fixed and back in action in about 45 min. Great video!

@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 2 года назад

Nice job again Tony, that will help a lot off guy’s with that specific problem. O a tip, when your done painting with a rattle can, flip it over and spray the paint out off the tube until it’s clear. No more blocked nuzzle.

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Thanks my friend! Believe it or not I really do that. To make sure the nozzles cleaned out. My dad taught me that many years ago.

@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 2 года назад

@jeffblevins2308 2 года назад

I save all the nozzles when empty. A can of quality rattle isn’t cheap these days.

@bobsbarnworkshop 2 года назад

Two things you should mention when installing the handle, the notch in the toothed part needs to hook onto the top edge of the tunnel and be sure the cables route under the shoes on the bottom rear of the brake lever. I figured that all out trial and error! Great video!

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Thank you sir! I was pretty much refurbishing my handle so I showed how it function. Probably would’ve been a good idea to do the complete install the handle. I had to remove it again for floor work lol Thank you.

Slade, I really appreciate all the detail. I'm a bit of a perfectionist I'm one of those while I'm there kind of guys. There's no sense in leaving something it may come back to haunt you. I'm excited about the red with the black. That tells me that the body works going to have to be primo. Can't wait great video as always. 💪🏼💯👍🏻💙

release button came jumping out today (applied the e-brake with brakes still out of adjustment and the paw jumped the top tooth) and I immediately thought “I’m pretty sure Slade just posted a video on this…” TheSe videos on these small odd jobs are just as useful as the more involved processes- appreciate your time and knowledge as always!

nice video great job explaining everything. that thing looks almost new. mine was cracked so i needed to weld that barrol at the bottom back in. im a fan of heating the metal befor paint too i think it helps cure the paint.

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

You’re so right Dennis, it truly does help heating the metal, and warming the paint. I’ve noticed a huge difference in how it flows.

Does the hand brake lever have to come out of the car to reengage the car paw or can it be left in if alls I want to do is flip the cat paw back around ?? Cheers.
