Need help---Pic request---Heater control help

[cjohnson6772]

Ok so my dad bought an Old Air kit and claims that I took his heater controls apart and started to rebuild it. Suffice to say that I don't recall ever taking HIS heater control apart, but since parts are missing......I ofcourse get the blame. Whatever...not really the issue to tackle at the moment.

I have all the heater control pieces except the pin that connects all 3 levers and allows them to pivot. I can't find anywhere that sells a rebuild kit with this pin in it.

Now the request:

Can someone post a pic of what the back of the control, specifically the pivot pin, looks like.

Also any ideas for making a substitute?

I've been playing around with mine recently and have not connected the cables back up yet. I'll get pics tonight when I get back home.

I've been there. I think it's just the way dads roll. I have found myself doing the same now that I'm a dad.

lol i got blamed for stealing his pruners for the flowers or something i have no interested in pruning the grapes or fllowers LOL

[cjohnson6772]

Lol yeah. I think I recall being there when we both took the control apart, but I can't say. The mind seems to fog after a while haha. But at least we aren't mad about it. Just one of those things where I wanna fix it before he has a chance to get upset about it. I'll put it this way. The control face will be fixed long before he needs it

Don't know if you got those pics you needed so here is some let me know if you need more.

[cjohnson6772]

@ Daddy Brim

those pics are exactly what I was looking for. I am putting his control back together with new levers and wasn't 100% sure how the pin would be held in. Thanks. Now that LockDoc has me hooked up then I will be in business soon

Yeah, yeah, you probably used them for wire cutters on your truck...

Chris: In the pictures notice that the metal clip slides over the bracket before the pin goes through it.

I'm not at home this weekend, but I spoke to dad today and the part arrived in the mail as promised! Thanks again so much Leon! I really appreciate the gesture and hope that someday I can pass the goodwill on. Don't hesitate to ask if you ever need anything I could possibly help with
