Interior vent cable bracket?

[ChrisC]

The question is also part of my last Restoration blog entry but I will copy it here as its the right home for these questions:

I can see that the heat and air vent control cables move about and so dont quite work as they should - so there must be a retaining bracket missing. The photo below shows the 2 cables and what appears to be 2 threaded holes in the adjacent panel - I am willing to bet that a bracket is bolted to those threads clamping the cables into position... but have a got a photo of it? That?ll be a no....

Can anyone help by having a picture?

I have no doubt I can make something that will work - but it would be nice to know what it is supposed to look like

Chris,

Sorry for the poor quality but this was a smallish part of a larger view. But I think you can see the bracketry.



Basically you have a bent tee shape bolted to the side of the central gauge pod area (part number C18510), and then a sort of W-shaped clamp piece (C18571) bolted underneath the arm of the tee which clamps the two cables in place.

Many thanks. I have now fabricated this bracket. Darned if I can find the old one but its not hard to make and no-one will ever see it again.
