Ever had you throttle cable catch break off on your AAN or 3B? have you ever priced a used throttle body or an aftermarket throttle cam and didnt agree with the prices? well we have had this problem and was shocked by the prices of used throttle bodys and the aftermarket cams so we cam up with out own cost effective solution to repair your throttle body and not break the bank. This is our throttle cable catch, it is machined from stainless steel and is press fit with a set screw to keep it from coming off. we also found the best results using red and blue loctite on the set screw and on the throttle cam. we are selling these for 30.00 shipped inside the USA. if your interested in one send me a private message and i'll make sure to get one out to you.

I had this same idea but wasn't quite sure if it could/would work, glad someone with the ability to actually produce one made it happen. Seems like a great lower cost alternative to the full billet throttle cam.

Thanks guys! my goal is to make things for these cars more cost effective for these cars. the prices of aftermarket parts are way out of control and i hope to make a small dent and drive the prices down a little. i know i cant change the world but i can still try to make an impact.

This is great, thanks for making things like this! I used zip ties on mine when it broke instead of buying that crazy expensive cam, but if this was around in surely a would have used it!

i used the zip tie for the longest time too lol. that got old fast. the one in the picture is on my 4000 quattro but im going to keep another one in my glove box in my S6 with an allen key just in case the cable catch decides to crap itself. this might just be an execellent addition to everyones URS/200 20V survival kit lol.

Well guys i got a few of these punched out and ready to go! so for anyone who owns a broken throttle cam here's the cheapest solution out there hands down! 30.00 bucks shipped inside the USA and for international shipping message me and we'll work it out. Im going to powder coat one or 2 of these to see how they turn out, one in matte black and one in another undecided color.
