How long of length is that cable ? Did you need a special tool to crimp the ferulles ?

QUOTE(porsche913b_sp @ May 4 2013, 12:57 PM)  How long of length is that cable ? Did you need a special tool to crimp the ferulles ? It's between 18" and 24" from what I remember, no special tool I just crimp with a visegrips. I left it long, installed it and then cut it to length. I'd take the thermostat to the store to make sure everything will fit and the ferrules will be the right size, I think it was 1/16" OD cable (just bring the thermostat and make sure it fits through the hole). Just pull the flap pinch arm down (toward the engine) when the thermostat is cold and installed and tighten it onto the cable in the down position. Then install the single ferrule just above the arm. Then cut it. Done. |
