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 Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

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. |
