Any reason why the servo controlled valve can't be controlled directly without using the 'pot that came with it?

@TheRuttmeister Andrew - If you mean via the wireless steering wheel buttons/PMU, I don't have any more outputs. That said, I'm not that great with circuits and this is my first servo rodeo so if you have any ideas, feel free to share!
Plus, there may be another servo like this in my future as I was thinking it'd be sorta cool to use one to control the air system flaps so I could manage airflow between the windshield and foot box area.

Here's the latest.
But it's part of the build and I want to document as much as I can so once the car is all done and goes up for sale

If it needs to be done before sale, then perhaps one of the projects will be engraving NSF in some tasteful place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Always fun to watch and learn from, and I will be sorry to see it finished.

Yeah, I had a look at the manufacturer. Its a shame that they are not exploiting the CAN functionality by having add-on boxes that let you add 6 or 8 outputs for reasonable money.

And I'm guessing their firmware is closed and its not possible to do it yourself.

My buddy, Tyson, called and says, "Your car got pictured in Issue 2 of the Mobil 1 Driver's Journal - the one that covered Luft 9...." and he sends these pics.

My interior got a full page pic! Well, the shifter, anyway...

Of course I immediately went on ebay and bought a copy. I'd never heard of this publication but apparently, it's a limited edition of 2000 copies. I got # 1055/2000.

Pretty cool.

@Retroracer Tony - I just bought a copy of the publication and once it's here, I'll update - assuming additional info is provided.

I'm pretty new to the 914 world, but i've seen several youtube videos with this car. I'm a veteran over on Grassroots and remember the RacerBenz build being pretty epic. Its pretty cool to connect these dots. Amazing builds you've got going on, and now I've got 231 pages to explore. I know you're looking to paint the car sometime in the future, but I really dig the ratty exterior against the precision fab work underneath. I'm in to follow!

Source for the heater valve, in case others are interested:

Nice job Chris. Wiring is a PITA and it ends up giving you a headache! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have that same bypass valve on my heater circuit except mine is the vacuum actuated model. I didn't know it was available in 12v. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Our cabins are so small that I had to install a ball valve inline to regulate the amount of water that can pass through the heating coils. Congrats on the write up. It was well deserved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
