Mine broke a couple years ago. Its pressed on and appears to be impossible
to fix without replacing the whole heater box. What I did was cut a small
slot where the shaft protrudes. Bought an otherwise destroyed box with a
good door. Cut that door out. Fit the replacement door in through the slot
and put a clip (like the ones they use to screw the cardboard pieces
together but with the screw hole clipped out). It fell loose a couple times
till I got it tensioned right, but has been stable for a year and a half.

Subject: tr4-6 heater question
Listers,
It appears the TR4 through TR6 used the same (or a very similar) heater. On
this heater there is a small aluminum (or perhaps pot metal) "lever" which
is attached to one end of the shaft on which the air control "flap door"
pivots. The heater control cable attaches to this lever via a trunnion and
screw. Does anyone know how the lever is attached to the shaft? My lever
broke last night and I would like to know how to safely remove one prior to
heading out to the local British junk yard. [ Safely meaning without
damaging the lever :-) ]
Thanks in advance.
