Thanks for the idea.
Yesterday a friend gave me a heater cable from off a "donor" Tiger; it was
attached to the
valve but not to the lever assembly (gones-ville). I figured on using the inner
wire only.
Surprise! This one is way shorter. Anybody know the correct length? The _outer_
housing on
the one out of the Garage Queen is 36" long, vs 27" for the "donor" unit.
Question: izzit safe
to cut down my housing, will it still reach? The path seems to be an inverted
"P" when viewed
from directly above the car (why the h*ll would anyone do _that_?), looping
toward the
vicinity of the glove box before heading back towards the lever to attach to
it. Wacko!

You're certainly welcome; if anybody can learn from everything I've done wrong
so far (and,
perhaps, occaisionally right), then that's great.
