Parking Brake Cable boots

[Dag Bøsterud]

Some company in germany (vw-classicparts.de) provided me with replacements
for my 86 100 CSq a couple of years ago. Worth checking out...
What I got was one OEM and one aftermarket cable, but they are both changed
and the car is in fully working order today on Norways salty roads.
