In days of yore, the vw faithful might have used a dual brake system for
the rear.  A poor man's limited slip perhaps.  Two levers to independently
apply the parking brake to the side that lost traction.  Hear tell it
worked.  You do have a splitter in the cable system. Maybe Alistair could
rig up the proper mechanism.  Three levers.  One for the locking parking
brake you now have and two others working on the individual cables to avoid
the slippage.

Pensionerd.
