    I have an extra set but have no idea if they are hot rod specific. If you know the length you need I'd be happy to measure them...

    I have an extra set that came with my standard rear GT brakes. The outer sheath was too long so i couldn’t seem to get them to work with the rear bracket in my mk4. I can measure if you’re interested depending on your need.

    I used Lokar Universal brake cables. I think the as-sold length is 96” but they are cut-to-fit. This is my second set because my first approach ran one side too close to the drive shaft, resulting in the cable wearing through.

    The hot rod ones I have have a 48" outer sheath and the inner cable is about 72" if that helps at all...
