EMPI Throttle Cable Shortening Kit (Accelerator Only)

When you've modified your chassis, swapped your engine, or upgraded your carburetors, a standard throttle cable is rarely the perfect length. This EMPI Cable Shortening Kit is the professional solution for customizing your throttle linkage, ensuring a crisp, responsive pedal feel while preventing the cable from fraying or binding.

Key Features:

  • Clean Termination: Designed specifically to secure the end of a cut throttle cable, preventing the steel strands from unraveling and ensuring a smooth pull.

  • Builder's Essential: A mandatory component for shortened pan dune buggies, kit cars, trikes, and custom Baja bugs where stock cable lengths are too long.

  • Precision Grip: Specifically engineered for Throttle/Accelerator cables, providing a secure hold that stays tight even under wide-open throttle conditions.

  • Easy Customization: Allows you to take a standard-length cable and tailor it perfectly to your specific engine and pedal configuration.

Specifications:

  • Part Number: 00-3170-0

  • Cable Type: Accelerator / Throttle Only

  • Sold As: Individual Kit
