Washburn's Metal billet aluminum parking brake bracket — machined from 7075-T6 aluminum in Southern California, supplied with an elongated steel pin, C-clip, and all hardware needed for installation. A serious upgrade over the worn, sloppy, or missing factory parking brake mounting bracket on classic VW Beetle and Meyers Manx applications. Part #CH04.

Why we machine these from 7075 aluminum

7075-T6 aluminum is one of the strongest aluminum alloys available — used widely in aerospace and motorsports applications where high strength-to-weight matters. For a parking brake bracket that carries the load of holding a 2,000-pound car stationary on a hill, that strength matters.

The factory VW parking brake bracket is a stamped steel piece that rusts, deforms, and wears at the pivot point over decades of use. Replacements from generic suppliers are often the same stamping in slightly worse quality. Our billet 7075 bracket eliminates the wear-prone factory geometry entirely and provides a precision pivot that won't develop play.

For Meyers Manx and other VW-based custom builds, the factory parking brake mounting is often missing entirely (the original pan section having been cut away during the buggy build). The Washburn's billet bracket is the standard way to restore proper parking brake function on those builds.

FAQ

Why aluminum instead of steel?
7075-T6 aluminum has strength comparable to mild steel at a fraction of the weight, doesn't rust, and machines to tighter tolerances than stamped steel. For this application, it's a substantial upgrade over both factory and aftermarket steel options.

Is the steel pin included or do I need to source it?
Included. The kit comes with the elongated steel pin and C-clip for installation. You don't need to chase down hardware separately.

Will this work on my Manx without modification?
For most Manx and similar buggy builds using a standard VW pan as the foundation, yes — the bracket mounts to the chassis in the same location as the factory part. If your build has heavily-modified chassis geometry in that area, contact us before ordering.

Can I install it myself?
Yes, with basic hand tools. The bracket installs in the factory location, the pin slides through, the C-clip retains it. If you're comfortable working on a VW chassis, this is a straightforward install.

Will it work with my original VW parking brake handle?
Yes. The bracket interfaces with the standard VW parking brake handle and cable setup.

Made in USA?
Yes, machined in Southern California by Washburn's Metal.

It works!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Life Extension melatonin seems to work well. I’ve found that 1mg is as effective as the 3mg doses of other brands. I take 1mg every evening, as so does my German Shepherd. It helps us sleep through the night. We chose this brand because it’s clean and simple.

Overall great value and great diapers!
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 104, Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 104
I’ve been using Huggies Snug & Dry diapers for a few months now, and overall, they’ve been a reliable choice for everyday use. The absorbency is definitely one of the standout features these diapers hold up well overnight and during longer outings without frequent leaks, which is a huge relief as a parent. One feature I really appreciate is the blowout barrier in the back it does a great job helping contain messes and has saved us from several outfit changes. If you’ve dealt with diaper blowouts before, you know how important that is! The fit is snug but comfortable, with stretchy sides that help keep everything in place without leaving marks on my baby’s skin. I also appreciate that they’re relatively lightweight and not too bulky under clothes. The wetness indicator is a helpful touch, especially during the newborn stage when diaper changes are frequent. That said, I have noticed that the material feels a bit less soft compared to some of the more premium diaper lines. It hasn’t caused irritation for us, but it’s something to keep in mind if your baby has very sensitive skin. Also, the designs are pretty basic functional, but not as cute as some other brands. For the price point, though, these diapers offer solid value. They’re dependable, widely available, and get the job done without breaking the bank. I’d recommend Huggies Snug & Dry to parents looking for an affordable, no-fuss diaper that performs well for daily use.

Great for the price
Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 92
We LOVE these diapers for our infant. He tends to have blowouts in many different diaper brands- especially the cheaper options. These diapers are good quality, especially for the reasonable price. We only buy these currently. I'd recommend these to any parent. They are especially soft.
