How about the original 1939 manual?
Go to eBay Item # 250100678225


Factory Workshop manual from 1960:
Item # 200095514243


This site archives scanned copies of very old
factory info. Can't say if you'll find just what you want:

Hi, I'm new here and have a question....

Anybody know how to adjust cable brakes on a 49?

Come to think of it, does anybody know where I might find a reprinted
manual for this car?

I have a Bentley manual that covers 54 through 79, and a factory manual
that covers my 59, one more for my 69, and a Bosch fuel injection manual
for my 79... but there isn't much out there for the early cars.

That 39 manual might have some pertinent info. I have seen reprinted
manuals on Samba from time to time, but not usually complete ones. I
may just have to get with Zarwerks.

Thanks for the links,
Shane

Once you tell Zarwerks (John) that you have a '49, you will never get
out of there!

Sheesh, what I'd give for a 49! Pictures! We want to see pictures!

Alright, here's a pic of my cars, my wife, and me. In order, they're 49
Deluxe, 59 Ragtop (Judson supercharged, of course), 69 Hardtop (Judson
as well), and 79 vert (absolutely still fuel injected).

damn fine collection you have Shane....

Happy to hear you guys approve. They're our kids.....at least until we
have one of our own. But they're at least as demanding of my time as
rugrats are.
