Heater Controls and Fresh Air box assembly, Front cowl Options

[914werke]

Well its been quite a long time since I took this thing apart and while I can figure out how it goes back Im hopefull someone will have BTDT and have some advice on the correct procedure.
Im talking about putting all the Heating venilation, defrost controls and such back on the car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Much gratitude. I used this tutorial extensively during a complete reinstall of my blower and flappers. I do have some additions and a clarification, though.

The shortest control cable connects the middle dash panel slider to the driver flapper rear top link.
The medium length dash control cable connects the top dash panel slider to the fresh air blower flaps.

My clarification is regarding the longest control cable, which connects the red bottom dash lever to the driver side flapper front linkage, which channels hot air either to the floor, or to the defroster/dash vent.

With the red slider all the way to the right for maximum defrost, the driver flapper valve should be channeling all hot air from the up-tube to the defroster nozzle. The only configuration that delivers that result is when the control cable is connected to the driver flapper box front bottom link. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) This is the one instance that differs from the above tutorial. Connecting the cross-link cable from the driver front top link to the passenger flapper box rear linkage will then make sure the same action is copied on the passenger side.

Here's a link to my blower/flapper reinstall:

I just completed a full mock-up on the bench and confirm the comments just above:
The cable commenting from the drivers side TOP front connection goes to the passenger side rear connection, & the bottom control cable from the red dash slider goes to the Bottom front drivers side flapper box.
