This EMPI Throttle/Accelerator Cable Shortening Kit is for air-cooled Volkswagen vehicles. It is a specialized piece of hardware designed for custom Volkswagen applications where a factory-length throttle cable is too long.
Primary Purpose & Mechanics
- Custom VW Builds: This kit is highly popular among builders modifying air-cooled VWs, such as sand rails, Manx dune buggies, and custom VW Beetles with shortened floor pans.
- Easy Trimming: It allows you to physically cut down your standard stock throttle cable to the precise length needed for your custom chassis.
- Mechanical Connection: The trimmed cable slips directly into the shortening adapter end piece and is firmly locked in place using a set screw or allen screw. The other end is shaped for seamless integration with a standard barrel nut or accelerator assembly.
Specifications & Features
- Component Type: 1-piece hardware adapter kit.
- Weight: Ultralight design weighing approximately 0.8 ounces (22.7 grams) to keep engine linkages snappy and responsive.
