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

There are three different part numbers for the heater cables.

91442407500 914-6

PCG42407501 1970-1974 914

91442407503 1975-1976 914

Are you making all three ?

I am not aware of aftermarket suppliers of this part. I did buy a new Porsche one. I may have got the wring part number as the length of each side were wrong. Rebent it to be correct for one side and had to put some zig zags on the other side to take up the extra length.

Also the Porsche one did not have the plastic coating like the original one.

Are yours going to have the coating ?

The last one I bought did not have the plastic coating. I liberally coated the cable with water proof grease. It would be nice to have a real coated cable.

I have the sample which I will be having fit shortly. The OEM one in the picture has a thin coating you can see it if you look closely at the picture. Metal on metal in the tubes can never be a good thing. Main reason I wanted to use coated.

As far as the 3 different cable numbers. I can make these at any length as we actually make these, so I'd be interested to send a few out to get confirmation. My car that we will be fitting is a 75, so 75-76 will be covered.

Anyone have a 6 cable for reference? Also looking for a 74 or earlier, and we will make them all correctly.

Mark, the one OEM one in the pic is off a '73.

That's good, because it it is, I have the one from my 75 and I would have the 2 parts to make these.
How can you tell? Looks like an appearance group lever, but that could be later.

The difference in the cables is the length and the lever pictured is non console type.

Mark, I assume it is because it came off my '73 after it decided it liked H2O more than O2. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Is the difference in length from early to late cars because a different flapper box was used in the later cars?

Duhh! I forgot...... Thought there was some magic way that you could tell from the picture because I was stumped.

1st one (early) sent out for test fitting today. Hopefully, an evaluation of it will be this weekend. Should have Friday (ish). Went out priority mail.
I think we have it spot on, but lets see what the results are.

We did make these with nylon coated wires. The OEM were also coated, it was slightly thinner, but not a raw steel cable rubbing inside the tube like the current one (that didn't fit). I could cut my price in half if I used the less expensive cable, but do you really want steel rubbing on steel in the enter tunnel? Ours will at least provide a barrier.
