Poor man's billet brake release button
 

If you like the aluminum look, replace the button on the T-1 parking
brake lever with the nut that holds the wiper arm on the type 2 ('68 on)
I polish them a little.

It's even a bit shorter that the plastic button. almost recessed.
low profile.

low profile. in the winter I polish the nuts. I would never powder coat
them.

Awesome, would like to see a collection of "keep it in the family"
tricks like this.. Heck I'd even allow watercooled VW's as sources....
I'll give one example: if your later model beetle does not have
"night/day" position lever on the rear view mirror, you can take the
mirror from an early watercooled VW, it has the exact same twist-on
mount. I got mine off of a Passat for my 74. :)

for my rear viewing I over laid the original mirror with a wide angle
one. It's nice and still pivots. I don't drive at nite or in the rain.
