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

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.
