Product details
The EMPI 16-2086-0 Clamp and Shim Cable Mount is a two-piece steel clamp that holds a Morse-style push-pull throttle or control cable firmly to a chassis tube, panel, or mounting tab. As pictured, one piece is a formed saddle with a mounting hole on each side and the other is a flat shim plate with matching holes. The cable housing sits between the two halves, and two fasteners through the holes pinch it in place anywhere along the cable. EMPI sells it with its heavy-duty shielded control and throttle cables, which come in 6 to 12 foot lengths with 10-32 threaded ends and need mounting hardware like this.
A push-pull cable works properly only when the outer housing stays put and the inner core does the moving. If the housing slides, part of the pedal travel is lost, and the throttle may not open fully or return cleanly. EMPI's other mount in the same range is the 16-2085-0 Hook Clamp. Ball ends (16-2084-0), clevises (16-2083-0), and the cut-to-length throttle cable extender (16-2087-0) round out the hardware.

Fitment & Compatibility
A universal mount for dune buggies, sand rails, and off-road builds running push-pull cables, including EMPI's shielded cables. On a stock VW it is a custom-fit part, so expect to make your own mounting point.
Installation & Tuning Notes
Clamp the housing close to each end of the cable and keep bends gentle. After tightening, work the pedal through full travel and check that the throttle opens all the way and returns to idle.
Common Questions
Will it work with an EMPI throttle cable?
Yes. EMPI offers it with its shielded control and throttle cables, which call for mounting hardware.
How many do I need?
At least one at each end of the cable housing, plus extras on long runs.
