113-609-638 Rear E-Brake Cable Bracket - VW Beetle (1958-1979)

VW Beetle Rear Emergency Brake Cable Bracket – 113-609-638

Ensure the reliability of your parking brake system with this Rear E-Brake Cable Bracket. This heavy-duty steel bracket bolts directly to the rear drum brake backing plate and serves as the primary anchor point for the emergency brake cable. By holding the cable housing firmly in place, it ensures that the mechanical force from the hand lever is properly transferred to the brake shoes.

A bent, rusted, or missing bracket can lead to a dragging e-brake, uneven braking, or a complete failure of the parking system. Replacing these during a brake overhaul ensures that your cable stays perfectly aligned and tensioned, preventing internal friction and cable snap.

Installation & Maintenance Tips Inspect Cable Housing: Before installing the new bracket, check the metal ferrule at the end of your e-brake cable for rust or fraying. If it is damaged, replace the cable simultaneously.

Apply Anti-Seize: Apply a small amount of anti-seize lubricant to the mounting bolts where they thread into the backing plate to prevent future rust-bonding.

Proper Tension: After both brackets are installed and the cables are routed, remember to adjust your e-brake handle inside the car so that the wheels lock fully at 3-5 clicks.
