EMPI \u003cb\u003e00-4863-0\u003c\/b\u003e is a \u003cb\u003e15-foot, 1.5mm O.D.\u003c\/b\u003e throttle cable. It has the factory \u003cb\u003eloop\u003c\/b\u003e on one end and the factory \u003cb\u003edog leg\u003c\/b\u003e on the other, and it comes with a \u003cb\u003ecable adapter\u003c\/b\u003e. You pick the end that suits your pedal, cut off the other, run the cable to the carburetor and trim it to length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuggy builders, rail builders and anyone who has shortened a pan knows the problem. A factory cable is either too short or too long, and it's the wrong length at the wrong end. Fifteen feet covers any air-cooled layout we have ever seen, including a rear-engine sand rail with the pedal cluster well forward. At 1.5mm O.D. it still slides through the stock guide tube, so a Bug or Bus that needs a new cable can have one today. You don't have to wait on a year-specific part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e15 ft of cable:\u003c\/b\u003e enough for long, custom or rear-engine routing, with plenty left to trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBoth factory pedal ends:\u003c\/b\u003e an early-style loop on one end and a late-style dog leg on the other.
