Hi Guys,
Had a great time with @ValcoOscar , @914-300hemi , @mike_D and @secondwind working on @914_7T3 's car yesterday and shot this video while we refurbed and installed his fresh air box. My hands still hurt, but hopefully this video helps the greater good. Shout out as always to @mikey914 and @matty900 Enjoy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhs6pedBOXM |

I just did mine, getting the fresh air box in was not too hard. I did loosen the 2 braces and also loosened the wiper assembly as it was interfering with getting the box in all the way.
The Really painful part was re-attaching the control cable at the back side. There was NO way to pre-attach the cable before positioning the box as it isn't long enough without dis-connecting it from the dash control levers, and that would have been even more painful. Getting the cable into the lever isn't too bad but but getting the clip snapped back on drove me crazy. I finally got it snapped in but was about to go the the hardware store to buy some long heavy duty needle nose pliers. Attaching the electrical cable was fairly easy. Good luck out there Barefoot |

Good luck out there Barefoot Yep, that's pretty much the deal. Getting the clip on the bottom cable involves aligning it perfectly straight with the bracket (blindly by feel) and using enough force to bend the clip around the sheath and lock it in. Long needle nose pliers are the tool of choice...but it's difficult to find a good angle for them to grab just the top of the clip. You may need to move the lever / cable a bit to clear the hardware which moves the vanes. Also...make very sure you're attaching the fan control cable (the top slider on the control inside the car)...and that the sheath is sandwiched between the clip and the bracket so you don't have to go through that pain more than once. Ask me how I know... |
