Product Information
Accelerator Cable Connector.
The OE MATCH Accelerator Cable Connector an original-style replacement component designed for the accelerator cable and throttle linkage arrangement of classic Porsche 914 models.
Fits:- Porsche 914-4 1,7
- Porsche 914 1,8 / 2,0
Diagram Ref No 18-19
Also known as a throttle cable connector, accelerator cable barrel clamp or cable securing connector, this small but essential component helps establish a secure mechanical connection between the accelerator cable and its corresponding throttle operating linkage.
The Porsche 914 uses a mechanical accelerator control system, where movement of the accelerator pedal is transmitted through a cable and associated linkage to the engine's throttle mechanism.
Unlike modern electronic accelerator systems, this mechanical arrangement relies on the correct adjustment and condition of individual cables, connectors and linkage components.
The OE MATCH connector 111129921/1 helps secure the accelerator cable at the appropriate connection point, allowing pedal movement to be transferred to the throttle mechanism.
The connector uses a compact barrel-style fastening arrangement associated with the original reference 111129921.
It provides a means of retaining the cable while accommodating the movement required by the corresponding linkage.
Despite its small size, the connector is important for maintaining predictable accelerator response.
A secure cable connection ensures that movement of the accelerator pedal is transmitted consistently through the mechanical linkage.
If the connector becomes loose, worn, corroded or damaged, the accelerator cable may no longer remain correctly retained.
This can create excessive free play, inconsistent throttle response or difficulty achieving the correct throttle adjustment.
In more serious cases, the cable may slip or disconnect from the linkage, potentially resulting in a sudden loss of accelerator control.
A damaged or incorrectly installed connector may also interfere with the smooth movement of the throttle mechanism.
Replacing a defective component with OE MATCH part number 111129921/1 helps restore the intended cable retention arrangement and reliable operation of the original throttle linkage.
This product is particularly suitable for Porsche 914 accelerator cable repairs, throttle linkage adjustment, engine maintenance and classic Porsche restoration projects.
The replacement allows an individual damaged connector to be renewed without automatically replacing the complete accelerator cable or throttle mechanism.
What This Product Does:
The accelerator cable connector provides a secure mechanical attachment between the accelerator cable and its associated operating linkage.
Its principal functions include:
- Secures the Accelerator Cable: Holds the cable at the designated throttle linkage connection.
- Transfers Pedal Movement: Allows accelerator pedal input to be transmitted to the throttle mechanism.
- Maintains Cable Retention: Helps prevent the cable from slipping or becoming detached.
- Supports Accurate Throttle Control: Maintains a consistent connection within the accelerator system.
- Reduces Unwanted Free Play: Helps prevent excessive movement at the cable attachment point.
- Supports Smooth Accelerator Operation: Allows the linkage to operate through its intended range.
- Maintains Correct Cable Adjustment: Helps retain the cable in the specified installed position.
- Supports Throttle Return: Allows the correctly adjusted linkage and return mechanism to operate without interference.
- Restores Original-Style Fitment: Replaces an ageing, damaged or missing connector.
- Supports Classic Porsche Maintenance: Provides an individual replacement for the mechanical accelerator linkage.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Accelerator cable connectors experience repeated movement and loading whenever the accelerator pedal is used.On classic Porsche vehicles, decades of operation, vibration, corrosion and previous adjustments can contribute to deterioration.
Typical symptoms:
- Accelerator pedal moving without an immediate engine response.
- Excessive slack in the throttle cable.
- Increased pedal free play.
- Delayed throttle movement.
- Difficulty maintaining the correct accelerator adjustment.
- Engine responding later than expected.
- Inconsistent acceleration.
- Increased pedal travel before the engine responds.
- Difficulty making small, precise throttle adjustments.
- Throttle response changing after repeated pedal operation.
- Visible cable movement within the connector.
- Cable slipping when the pedal is operated.
- Connector becoming loose.
- Difficulty retaining the correct cable adjustment.
- Throttle linkage movement becoming inconsistent.
Why Replacement Matters:
The accelerator cable connector is a small but safety-critical part of the mechanical throttle control system.
Its condition affects the security of the accelerator cable connection and the consistency of pedal operation.
Replacing a damaged or loose connector helps restore reliable mechanical control between the accelerator pedal and engine throttle.
- Restores Secure Cable Attachment: Helps prevent accelerator cable slippage.
- Improves Accelerator Response: Restores consistent mechanical movement where the connector was causing lost motion.
- Reduces Excessive Pedal Free Play: Removes unwanted movement caused by a loose connection.
- Supports Accurate Throttle Adjustment: Allows the cable to be correctly positioned and retained.
- Maintains Predictable Acceleration: Helps preserve the intended relationship between pedal and throttle movement.
- Helps Prevent Cable Disconnection: Replaces damaged fastening components before complete failure.
- Supports Smooth Linkage Operation: Restores correct connection and positioning.
- Improves Mechanical Reliability: Replaces corroded, distorted or weakened original hardware.
- Suitable for Restoration: Helps preserve an original-style Porsche 914 accelerator linkage.
- OE MATCH Replacement: Offers a replacement corresponding to original reference 111129921.
