Made in USA by Washburn's Metal as a direct, more durable replacement for the original factory throttle cable. Part #C05.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a stainless cable beats the factory mild-steel original\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory VW throttle cable is mild steel — it stretches, corrodes, and eventually develops fraying that leads to sudden throttle failure. On a Bus, the cable runs the full length of the chassis from the pedal area to the rear-mounted engine, which is a long, exposed run subject to road grime, moisture, and decades of flex cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel cable eliminates the corrosion failure mode entirely. The cable holds tension consistently, doesn't stretch over time, and won't develop the gradual throttle response degradation that's a hallmark of an old factory cable. For any Bus being daily driven or restored to driver-quality, a stainless throttle cable is one of the better upgrades for the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e VW Type 2 Bus throttle cable, all years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e #C05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washburn's Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Bus \/ Transporter (Type 2): all years (1950–1979)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bus throttle cable run is consistent across most years, but if your specific Bus has had engine swaps, fuel injection conversion, or other modifications that change cable routing, measure your existing cable before ordering to confirm length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this work with my dual-carb conversion?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStock Bus cable length is correct for stock single-carb engines.
