hi guys -
I'm under the car trying to hook up my heater system - but the wire cable connector from the heater lever in the cabin to the flapper box under the car has me flumuxted! How do you connect the wire heater pull cable to the flapper box? anyone have a picture and maybe I can "McGiver" something together.... thx td |

My '70 had the same issue and the cables look original. My flapper boxes are new and the cables were short by about 1.25". I have a local vw parts store and bought a throttle cable rod end that I added to the cable. (Had one left over from the empi HPMX carb kit, so i only needed one extra.) That rod fit the brass barrel nut and made up the shorted distance.
I figured that it was just the fact that my car is a Frankenstein with heater boxes, tubes and other parts sourced from a number of parts cars: -heater boxes are '73 2.0 -motor is '75 1.8 freshly rebuilt with back dated motor mounts and crossbar. -heater tubes where from a '74 2.0 -flappers were two NOS parts that I had in my stash... -new hoses from mikey914 aka 914rubber.com I'm still looking for a blower fan to connect up to the tubes by the heads... If you can't find out why it's short, try the throttle cable clamp rod.... |
