If the cable is too long, get an extra pair of cable connectors. Cut the cable in an area above the transmission. Overlap the 2 ends through one of the extra cable connectors. Adjust for the length needed, and tighten down the setscrew in the connector. If your cable is too short, cut the ends off an extra cable and do the same thing. I think the "Set screw" connector you have is like the ones used on the rear seat outlet cables. They would work too if you have some. PS- Peter, I have a '66 heater cable that came with my my '66, but I am going to need it. It does have the parts tag still on it. If you need the part number, I can get it for you. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (not running yet) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
