Subject:      '81 heater cables

Hey all, I have a quick compatability question.

I have an '81 Vanagon Westy. It's air-cooled. I'm going to need new heater cables for it, which I plan to do this summer. I am also going to need the hardware that attaches the heater cables to the flapper boxes and allows for their adjustment.

The grand prize question is: Are the late loaf heater cable adjusters at the flapper boxes the same as the early Vanagon? I don't imagine that the adjusting hardware is available new, so I might have to ask around for these parts. Finding them would be much easier if I could include loafs in my search. Does anyone know for sure on this? If you have both an air-cooled Vanagon and a Bus, I'd be grateful if you checked it out.

FWIW, if anyone out there has that hardware and wants to sell it or donate it to the cause :-) please let me know. To be more specific, I have the cables and I have the flapper box. What I need is the hardware that attaches the cable to the flapper box. It provides an adjustment and I will need the nuts and bolts or whatever is used to attache the cables to the hardware and the hardware to the flapper.

I'm also gonna need new cables as mine are tweaked, so if anyone knows of a good place to buy Vanagon heater cables, speak up please. Ron? Can you get those and how much?

Thanks all, Sean -- ***************************************************************** Sean Bartnik Fahrvergnugen really means "push harder." sbart7kb@www.mwc.edu '81 Vanagon Westy
