Steves_TR6 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 OK, this should be a 5 minute job ..... The cable from the heater flap control to the lever on the heater was broken, so ordered a new one, how hard can that be to fit ! I cant get the knob off ! Looking at the new cable there is an indent which i thought might have a grub screw to hold the know on, but looking at the old one there is indeed a hole in th side of the know but no screw, possible a little pin is in there holding the knob on. How do i remove this, guess i could drill it out ?? Thanks in advance Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PJM Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 The "pin" is spring loaded, press it in with a small diameter screwdriver or similar and the knob will slide off easy, peasy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Bloody marvelous this forum is ! i shall go try that right now ..... Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 You're right ! Unfortunately the new one from Moss does not have the spring loaded 'button' in place. I suspect it may have come out in the post, as the item was poorly packed in with a load of much heavier stuff. I'll give moss a call. thanks again ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PJM Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Probably left out in the manufacturing process to reduce costs. It may be worth trying to get a secondhand one from someone like TRGB or failing that secure it in place with some grip fill or similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is it not possible to use the spring loaded thingy from the broken cable. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roger I did try this..... the spring is now somewhere in orbit ! Moss were good and are sending me a replacement, on one of my regular shipments....

Steves_TR6 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Have i done anything but work on the car...... Well ive been out for a few spins, but with the brakes being terrible at present ive not been far ! AND as well as working on it ive spent lots of money on it ! Today though we went out for a coffee, roof down in the sunshine, was fantastic Tomorrow my new wheels are due Weekend am fitting silicon hose set, new thermostat, electric fan if it comes in time, flushing the cooling system, working on the brakes some more no doubt !! Happy Days Today someone passing by said 'you'll make the ducatis jealous all the time you are spending on the TR6' how true. So many toys, so little time Edited February 3, 2011 by SDerbyshire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
