Alrighty folks! The carpet and padding is IN! YAY! Now, the bad news..

I realized I'm supposed to run stuff under there..what is it? Accel. cable, clutch cable, and parking brake cable? I guess the brake lines are optional...

I guess I can run the tubing.. TUBING, to enclose the cables...... what size tubing did you run and where can I get some??? THANKS DUUUUUUUDES!

are you running your accel cable through the stock tube or a new cable in a new location

also the stock ebrake should have some tubing run through the tunnel as well all you should need to do is fish a brake line under the carpet

I ran all new lines and used the vinyl tubing that came with the off road vinyl brake line kit for a sheath for the throttle cable.

It's gotta be new tubing, I'm not using a stock VW frame... I'm spending the day (and tons of bling bling in fuel) looking for 1/4 and 3/8 ID tubing, metal...

Carlos,
I got my tubing from home depot 1/2" I thank. Just take you e-brake cable and find tubing that fits snugly over the cable end.

I tried home depot, they have the tubing, but up to 3 feet.. I need a looong one for the accel cable and clutch cable

I'll try a steel store, if they're open tomorrow...

12mm O.D. hydraulic tubing make s a great replacment tubing for the e-brake and the clutch tubing. Get it in the 1.5 mm wall thickness.

Two 4 foot sticks was all i needed. Cut one in half use it for e-brake and use the other full stick for clutch cable. I used a smaller tube for the accel cable, got it at autozone fuel line or brake line cant remember. You could also use one of the plastic accelerator cable/tube kits.

For accelerator cable. is used spare brake line tubing. For clutch, I used 1/2 metal conduit
