Hi fellow listers,
The following minor problem has come up with my 1970 B:
The control cable between the dashboard rotary control and the heater valve
broke down, i.e.
the inner cable (1.5 mm, measured with a vernier caliper) broke near the valve.
(Given the bad summer weather we have here right now, this is not a big
issue....)
The outer diameter of the cable sleeve was 5.0 mm. Since these are metric
dimensions and I presume the original cable must have had inch-related
dimensions, it looks like the cable has been replaced
at an earlier time, before 1989 when my ownership of the car began.
I'm not sure about the length, though.
Can anyone tell, what length the cable must have had?
I measured something like 635 mm for the OD part and (unknown, probably about
750 mm?) for the solid inner core. My supplier sent me one that is considerably
longer.
But then, I'm almost sure this was not the originally fitted control cable.
BTW this car still has the steel dash. (European market model, LHD, VIN #
GHN5-205838).
TIA
Bert
