Clamp & Shim (Linkage)

The CSR Performance Clamp & Shim Throttle Cable Linkage Kit (part number 60017) is a precision steel assembly designed to secure and fine-tune throttle cable routing on carbureted engines and mechanical fuel injection systems. This natural-finish steel component serves as both a cable clamp and shimming solution, allowing technicians and engine builders to achieve proper cable geometry and eliminate binding or excessive friction in the throttle linkage path.

Weighing just 0.04 lbs with compact dimensions of 4 x 0.65 x 6.9 inches, this linkage clamp accommodates a variety of cable diameters and mounting orientations common in street rod, vintage motorcycle, and performance engine applications. The steel construction resists deformation under repeated cycling and provides the rigidity needed to maintain cable tension without slip or creep. The shim feature enables users to dial in precise cable slack and prevent dragging or over-travel that compromises throttle response or causes premature cable wear.

This kit is ideal for engine swaps, carburetor conversions, and custom builds where factory cable routing may not align with aftermarket intake manifolds or throttle bodies. Owners of vintage cruisers, hot rods, and modified street engines use this clamp assembly to solve cable management challenges that arise when engine bay layout changes. The natural steel finish accepts standard enamel paint or powder coat if engine compartment aesthetics require color matching.

CSR Performance specializes in throttle and linkage solutions for the performance engine community, and this clamp & shim kit reflects their focus on functional, no-compromise components. Whether troubleshooting a hanging throttle on a carb swap or setting up a new engine's cable path, this steel linkage piece delivers the adjustability and durability builders and restorers depend on.
