Poor man's billet brake release button
If you like the aluminum look, replace the button on the T-1 parking
brake lever with the nut that holds the wiper arm on the type 2 ('68 on) I polish them a little. -- Karma ; what a concept! |

Heck I'd even allow watercooled VW's as sources.... I'll give one example: if your later model beetle does not have "night/day" position lever on the rear view mirror, you can take the mirror from an early watercooled VW, it has the exact same twist-on mount.
