5. Two identical slider control lever assemblies are used for the heat and distribution functions, each being
secured to the dash with two countersunk screws and nuts, with the screw heads concealed by a graphic
strip. The ends of the solid wire inner control cables are joggled, and are hooked into a hole in the control
lever, with the outer cable clamped to the baseplate with a barbed spring steel clip. A similar arrange-
ment is used at the output end of the cable, which connects to the heater or distribution flap spindle via a
lever with a boss and grub screw. The lever is equipped with three holes for use in different applications.

6. The heat control cable runs forward through the scuttle blanking panel and down to the heater matrix
housing in the chassis front well. Hook the inner cable into the outermost hole in the temperature flap
lever, and with the temperature selector lever positioned at 'hot', ensure that the flap is in the fully hot
position (counterclockwise on RHD, clockwise on LHD) before tightening the operating lever grub screw
onto the flap spindle, and clamping the outer cable with the spring steel clip.
