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 cable ends on my car were cut when I bought it.
I got some wire of similar gauge and tiny U clamp from the hardware store to extend the cables. The cable extensions don't have the special end but those aren't necessary to terminate the cable at the flapper valve. Attached image(s)

Sorry to be a zombie but how did you connect the bare wire to the flapper box arm? I have wire but both ends broke off. |

The cotter pin goes through the barrel nut. The broken wire end is looped through the hole in the cotter pin. Easy fix. Picture. Attached thumbnail(s)
