Hi Everyone, Restoring The Heating On our Van. Noticed on One Cable End It is Clipped In And Has A Type Of Cap On It And The Other Is Not Clipped In And Has No Cap On it. Anyone Know If These Can Be Purchased Anywhere ? Or Anyone Have One For sale? Cheers For Any Help.
Good luck. There should be the nylon cap, a nylon inner cap & some rubber bellows. The bellows are readily available, the inner cap BusOk has but the spacer/adjuster /end cap... Who knows If you can find some let me know.
Hi sorry it's my phone. The keyboard kept putting a capital at the beginning of every word. Gave up fighting it. Think I've sorted it now. PS. Do you think the cable will work ok without it?
Do yourself a favour and forget about all those little fittingsd. When I was in the same boat, someone on here ,can't remember who, suggested using a metal wire coat hanger and some of those little white electrical connector blocks. Use these bits to join the end of the heater cable to the h/x mechanism. It works perfectly and costsd next to nothing
Maybe if I could just get the bellows to keep the dirt out? Anyone got any part numbers. And I'll do a search PS thanks for the replies
Every one sells the bellows, just search on heater cables & they'll be there somewhere The nylon outer bit stops the cable outer moving so the levers properly open/close the heat exchangers.
^yep, this. Nylon bits as per pics above. Better if you use old knicker elastic to close them again. Just a thought

Cheers for all your help. I shall take a look. If anyone finds they have a nylon bit let me know. Meanwhile I'll rumage in the shed to see if I can find something I can improvise with. Cheers
Best bet if your not in a hurry is wait until summer, and look through all the parts jumbles at bus festivals and the like .....Try Megabug they have sorted me out on a few one off's
