couldn't be a factory vanagon, but you never know.
the earliest air-cooled vanagon I have ever seen had a unusual small horn
pad.
the only one I have ever seen that way.
must have been like October 79 production date or something like that.

cables are weak compared to a hydraulic release clutch system.
the hyd. system used on the vanagon is just excellent,  -  two minor
complaints I can think of , but in the real world they work very well.
