Re: Finally!
Geoff, are your 914 heater control pods (lever arms where the cables attach) the same as your bus, or opposite? I found an odd pair of pods in my stash today with the levers going opposite of how I'm used to, and a 914 is the only thing I can think of that would explain the swapped lever direction…

Re: Finally!
The heater control box is totally different animal than a VW as it's more 911 or like a Vanagon.

Re: Finally!
"or like a Vanagon" which is a Volkswagen. Can you describe how it is different?
Google has not helped me to answer this question.

Re: Finally!
In a 914 and Vanagon the control box has horizontal sliding levers. A 914 has 3 controlling fresh air fan speed, fresh air to the dash or footwell and the lower one controls the heat to defrost or footwell. Vanagon has two levers for these with a switch for fan speed.

Re: Finally!
Ok, I see where the communication is breaking down… Here are the parts I found in my garage. They don't fit a bus, because the operational levers are 180° out. Would they fit a 914?

Yes, he will entertain the prospect if you're serious. He PM'd me last year when I was in absolutely no financial situation to go through with an order…

Re: Finally!
Not what he TOLD me! April 2017! Why I otter . . . I would not have monkeyed with tapping in partially installed seats and driving around the country with a cracked valve guide, remember all that, Robbie? I got a couple of used heads from people here (Bus71), but I would have of course gone Len at the time.

Re: Finally!
I think they use the bus ones. Remember a 914's engine is facing forward.

Re: Finally!
Finally found the correct plaid for the seats and investigating the cost to repair/restore the seats to their former glory. I have leather seats which was a rare option so I want to have the worn piece replaced and new plaid inserts made like this picture.
