Just as the title states....
When I was dressing my new motor I noticed these 'reverse' flaps. But have no idea what cable would hook up to the flapper arm, or where it would come from? Or what would activate it? Someone please enlighten me... |

Thanks everyone, for the fine explanations and pics! I now have a good understanding of how the flaps work. Being that I live in San Diego, it seems that I will be fine with not re-installing the cable from the stat and just leaving the flaps in the default position.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have the flaps but no thermostat and I have no heating issues whatsoever. Don't you just love living in South Cali???
