Again, I've been asked to make correct length heater cables. Apparently the ones on the market are a little too short. These have to be exactly the correct length otherwise they don't reach, and if they are too long the bind up in the flapper arm assembly and will not allow full travel of the flapper, making your heat on not fully on when selected.
These will be nylon coated cables pre-bent for the install at the lever. I've also included 2 free heater cable nipples to seal up the tubes while you are there. So, who's interested? These will be ready in about a week. And who can resist free nipples? Making the 70-74, and the 75-75 version Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() Attached image(s) ![]() |

I'm sure you could twist it, but will it become unraveled over time? Best bet is to cut and braze to correct legnth.
These are actually just comming into production today as we changed the material due to some feedback on the 1st one we sent out. the cable was not stout enough to not kink when it was pushed through the tunnel. We now have the galvanized wire like brand X and offer an option for a coated cable. Pics to follow tomorrow. Cables fit fine on my 75, and using a known good early. the dimmensions fit on the earlys just went to a better wire. So anyone who's interested we will start sending the codes out tomorrow to all that have resopnded on the thread. -Mark |
