With the cable and air filter kit costing about $65 I decided to build my own cable, specially consider after they wanted to ship the kit to Alabama for a whooping $23 (ground shipping).
You will need the following:
-Super Beetle cable assembly (comes with the rubber housing) $7?
-1/4" copper tubing (about 6') $10
-two 1/4" flares and two washers $3
-HF stainless steel cable dookie hickie ($9)
First you need to insert the cable assembly in the copper tubing and have the rubber housing sticking just about 1/4" out of the tubing. Then bend it how you want it and insert the other end in the longer tubing housing that runs toward the front. I used the accelerator end on the carburetor. The other end I cut off and used HF connector on the pedal. Works great. Next I need to wrap some black tabe around the tubing all the way to the larger tubing housing otherwise I will have water running in it each time it rains.
It’s not a huge saving and my method will never compare to the high quality cable that a vendor offers but if you don't want to pay for shipping or wait for the item to come in the mail, this is a good alternative. Also I used the washers on each end as the flares were are not thick enough and they would go through the filter housing. Don't taze be bro!
