Hey Gang,
Installing the heater control cable and ran into a problem. Yes, I realize there is a left and a right (longer/shorter etc.) but, after trying both ways it appears the cable is bent wrong from the factory. I'm about 3.5" off each way. Has anyone run into this in the past? Too Short:  Too Long:  |

I was successful in re-bending the original. Had to take 3 5/8" from the long side to the short side. YMMV
