Here is the refined "Maestro" version for the EMPI Clutch & Emergency Brake Cable Shortening Kit, keeping the focus on its heavy-duty utility without citations.


EMPI Clutch & Emergency Brake Cable Shortening Kit

Standard cables are often too long for custom-built Volkswagens, especially those with shortened chassis or custom pedals. This EMPI Heavy-Duty Cable Shortening Kit is engineered to handle the high-tension demands of clutch and emergency brake systems, allowing you to create a custom-length cable without sacrificing safety or reliability.

Key Features:

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Specifically designed with a robust housing to secure thicker cables under the high stress of clutch and braking movements.

  • Universal Builder Part: An essential component for shortened pan dune buggies, sand rails, and custom trikes where stock cable lengths are unusable.

  • Prevents Fraying: Provides a clean, secure termination point that prevents heavy steel cable strands from unraveling, slipping, or binding.

  • Professional Finish: Eliminates the need for "looped" or "doubled-over" cables, giving your custom project a clean, high-quality appearance.

Specifications:

  • Part Number: 00-3171-0

  • Cable Type: Clutch or Emergency Brake (Hand Brake)

  • Sold As: Individual Kit

Vehicle Application & Fitment

This is a universal "builder's part" designed for custom air-cooled Volkswagen applications. It is most frequently used for:

Vehicle Type Common Application
Dune Buggies & Sand Rails Shortened floor pans or custom tube-chassis builds
VW Beetle & Baja Bug Custom mid-engine setups or modified handbrake locations
VW Karmann Ghia Custom performance configurations and chassis mods
VW Type 2 (Bus) Non-stock pedal assemblies or modified cable routes

Tech Tip: Because clutch and brake cables are under significant tension, ensure the cable is fully seated and the hardware is tightened firmly. For a permanent installation, we recommend using a small drop of thread locker once your final cable length has been dialed in.
