Volks,
The 1968-72 beetle engines had a preheater cable that apparently ran behind
the air cleaner from a solenoid (over on the left) to a little control lever
on the back of the right air intake tube. It looks like it has an in-line
spring. It controls the position of the flap that selects air from the
preheater warmed-air hose or the direct-intake tube.
Mine is long gone, and Id like to re-establish it to make my restoration
showroom-original correct. I cant find that cable-and-spring assembly in
any catalog. And it appears to have been frequently removed (and never
missed) from lots of stock engines.
Does anybody (a) know an ordering source for this cable assembly, or (b)
have an old 1968-72 that theyve given a new air cleaner that still has
this cable assembly that theyd be willing to sell? Ive got the air
cleaner all restored, but need the cable. Please drop me a line off-list if
youd like to deal.
Thanks,
Bert Knupp
