I just placed an order for the Vintage Air servo heater control valve. I really want to get the valve out of the cockpit. Over the decades I have head them start to leak and stain
carpet. In addition, on the 300K it is a real PITA to get too. Removing the glove box and a wiper link and the cable catching on things to get it off…
My plan is to make a bracket to screw into the same holes as the existing and then mount the unit on it on the engine side. Since they make a linear potentiometer for use with a
cable, I can make a little bracket and place inside the dash down low and accessible and then just run the wire out to the valve.
I may also look at making a bracket with a short rid with some spherical joints to push pull on the POT right at the back of the controller and do away with the cable entirely.
When I am done, I will post some photos of how it all works or not. I mean for a $160 and a couple of hours of work to get that thing out and more accessible, if it works it will
be a good thing for a daily driver.
