VW Accelerator Pedal Rebuild & Repair Kit

Bring precision back to your throttle assembly with this comprehensive Accelerator Repair Kit. Designed specifically for the air-cooled Volkswagen floor-mounted pedal cluster, this kit replaces the most common wear items that cause slop, side-to-side play, and sticking throttle cables.

Whether you are performing a full chassis restoration or just performing routine maintenance, replacing these high-friction components ensures that your engine responds exactly when you want it to. All components are zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and long-term durability against road grime and moisture.
