AC Blend door "clip"?
Taking the heater core out of my dads 83 Truck and found a broken plastic connector that moves the blend door via the vac pod from the opposite side. I know GM has them for about 3-4 dollars, but I've found one out of either aluminum or steel--but really 30 plus dollars each? yikes!! Any vendor on the board here have it?? Looking to get a couple of them for future endeavors and one for my suburban if there is ever an issue with it.

Post #35 in this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=460942 shows my homemade metal solution. It is still working today.

I just ordered one of the aluminum ones off of ebay. Buy once, cry once.
But can someone tell me how the blend door works? Is there a way to test function? I have my dash all pulled apart at the moment and want to make sure everything is working properly when it goes back together. |

I sucked it up and got 2 aluminum ones. One for my suburban and one for the dads truck. They arrived today as a matter of fact

Guessing the engine has to be running (to produce vacuum) but what else makes it move back and forth? I want to make sure everything is working as it should before I put all the ductwork etc back in place. |

Well then just get a solid round alum rod big enough from home depot. Cut off a section use hack it with Dremel Tool and Accessories. Cut and grind in to shape in 2 hour you should be able get it rough out the Chinese alum test fit fine tuning it for fitment. You can spend as much to finish it to your liking. I did not know you did not want Chinese plastic. The shape is not hard to make. The other option is pc 3D printer buy one or try calling 3D printer shop to do some up for you.( but Plastic again)

If you can run a grinder and MIG you can DIY one out of steel.
