#1 How many rod cable in the bulkhead ?

Post by Polse7317 » Sat Sep 24, 2016 6:37 pm

I found in my mystery part box a cable with a round rod without any use as i can know...! I have 3 similar cables : 2 for the heating box, and one for the choke . I Wonder where i must fit the 4th one ? ( 70 cm lenght , not the tail gate one ) An idea ? :helpsign:

As you say three as far as I know. Two for the heater and one for the choke. The wipers park switch adjuster also comes through the bulkhead but is not really a rod Bowden cable like the other three. Maybe you have a spare?

US cars with twin Stromberg carburetors have two choke cables, one for each carburetor that run back to the lever mounted on the dashboard. That would make four.

Hi Lataud,

If you have the one for your FHC boot lid, it's a spare part.
