heater controls

[DancingBear]

It's not quite 'electrical' or 'instrumentation' I know, but it seems a better fit here than elsewhere....

Because I've got as much physical subtlety as an elephant, I've managed to break the ends off the plastic 'sticks' which control the heater settings in the cab.

I've hunted on Brickwerks, etc, (the places linked from this website) without any luck, so if anyone is able to point me at any place that sells replacements I'll be hugely grateful, thanks.

Yeah, the four plastic sticks that control the cab heater settings.

My T25 is 1985. I don't actually know which ones I need ... and to be honest I hadn't realised they were different.

I've actually ordered four now, from Just Kampers - who seem to have a fair number of bits and pieces that Brickwerks and the other outlets linked from the 'discounts' page here don't have.

you need tomove the lever to the middle , and "ease" the lever stub up, or down to the correct slot, and then push the knob onto the lever.

The tricky bit's removing the broken old one. Our hot-cold was missing the end. In trying to pull the remaining bit off (big pliers, grip, tug), I managed to break the end off the footwell airflow knob. Boogeration.

there is a "blip" at the end, a slight "twist" with the pliers navigates the sleeve over it.
