Peter:

I had the same problem.  I found a junk car to obtain the part from but
concluded that it would break taking it off.  The lever is apparently
pressed on at the factory.  I solved my problem (for now at least) by
having a new lever fabricated out of a steel bar.  Basically the part we
made duplicates the original except that it is held in place by a screw
that "pinches" the shaft of the heater box flap.  So far so good.

                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.
