Posted July 8, 20159 yr comment_473429 Hello everyone, just rebuilt the heater box, heater core, installed new foam everywhere. I have installed the heater box and the cables. My dash is not in yet as I wanted to take care of this first and then put the dash. I have installed the heater control mechanism cables to the appropriate section of the heater box excluding the blower motor flap. My question:1. Is there a bracket that holds the long cable to the blower motor flap? My box doesn't seem to have it.2. I know the heater cable mechanism attaches to the back of the heater control panel, is there another mounting point behind the heater control mechanism?3. Will I have an issue installing the dash with the heater mechanism already connected to the box(not the heater control panel) Thanks!

July 8, 20159 yr comment_473431 What model car are you working on? My early 260z has strange clips made out of a spring metal that keeps those cables where they need to be. I had a discussion about finding those clips with another member here a while ago, there were a few good pictures: http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/44382-need-help-with-a-heater-control-cable-clip/ I assume a 240z is the same but I havent worked on one personally. The late 260z and later used a vacuum controlled system Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/51824-heater-control-mechanism-connection/#findComment-473431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late 260z and later used a vacuum controlled system sorry its a '72 240z. I should really update my profile! Anyway, the pics are great! I wasn't sure if the heater plate panel takes the bulk of the load off that mechanism. I have to search the service manual again, and look for my "how to restore your Datsun Z" book to get some references.
