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 |

The barrel nut should be able to crank down enough to even hold onto a bare wire. You might be able to crimp or solder on a thicker end if you feel it's necessary.

I purchased a beetle heater cable set cheap but have not pot things together yet to see if that will work. An official 914 heater cable is $$ Barefoot |
