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 |

YIKES - I thought mine looked bad....sheesh.
OK< update: I have heat! Napa parts came up with a barrel nut that was of course too large for the porsche part it is supposed to fit into. Given that the weekend is nigh over, and heat remains a priority - I was able to modify the barrel nut to fit the end of the wire, and then gave a mighty tug to ensure it would not slip off - - - - wait for it - - - - and gained about an inch or so in length when something gave way in the tunnel. good grief. However, it remained to find a way to secure / attach the barrel nut to the flapper arm - and with some good old coat hanger ingenuity - we now have heat! I'll do it right when I find the right barrel nuts - but for now we are back on the road! Thanks guys for all your help - I think this myth is busted! cheers td |
