Brief Description: Cabin heat box control final

Drilled hole in angle brace near the heat control box for the control cable to fit Picked a spot on shelf brace to add an adel clamp and drilled for a #6 Counter sunk screw and attached to brace securing cable. Added a cable clamp to the heat box mounting bolt that clamps the outer sheath to keep it from slipping during operation. Pulled the inner wire out far enough so I could cut off the excess cable sheath. pushed inner wire back fwd and cut off excess just beyond the attach point at lever. Smoothed the edges with grinding stone and attached the actuation wire with supplied hardware. Works but I need to trim off another 1/2 inch from outer sheath for a smoother non binding operation.

Cable hooked up to cabin heat door lever
