i think rear hand brake cables are like rocking horse poo.
i had loads of trouble finding mine back in the uk.
if you have a part number best order from VW (which i did but they got it wrong 5 times!!!) I picked my up at a car boot sale lol
doing a mk1 rear disc conversion aye?, vw should be ablee to source you some, got mine from them when i did my rear disc conversion, although i forget the part number for the prop valves, sorry
Part number 73132. 11.25 GPB each. have them mail you out some. Can sell you my spares if your desperate.
Now the pressure limiting valves ( they are not proportional valves and never have been ) good luck in finding, I looked at buying the last 4 in stock in the US VW network, $100 each + shipping !!!
Since then I have sourced a few sets for my own use, but beware as MOST people will sell you a set of drum brake valves. The items you need have the numbers "3 / 15" stamped on or near the spanner flats, the DRUM brake version has "3/35" stamped at the same location. The drum brake valves cut out at a higher pressure. PM for the part number if you want to try .
If you using these for your rally car you would be better of using a tilton adjustable set up in tandem if you intend to keep the diagonal brake split, or just one valve if your setting up for front rear seperate circuits.
Have a good look at the "2" and see if it looks like a "3", otherwise they could be from an entirely different car altogether, ATE make these things for a load of different manufacturers with different cut of pressures.
Girlfriend UK nissan Alamera ( pulsar here) has them on it as well !! dunno what pressure setting was tho cause the rust was something elsemaking it impossible to read any inscriptions
