WTB: "throttle" cable for Mk I Rabbit

As stated, need one for the old Whistle Pig.  Used is fine.  My current one is at the end of adjustment and only gives by 80% of the IP arm travel I need.

a nice new throttle cable is a quick and noticable improvement to any VW i've found. i also remember them being reasonably priced at the dealer, so aftermarket is likely to be even better price. i'd certainly go new.

I agree with Black Tie. new is only $16.10 at AutohausAz (p/n 357721555A). Youll have to have an order over $50 for free shipping. I have an old one you can have if you want ot pay shipping. It either came off a rabbit or a jetta with M/T.

I saw them on AutohausAZ, but I was trying to avoid paying the freight.  Thankfully my father needed some oil & filters for his TDI so we combined our orders.  New one on the way!  :D
