Anyone know where I can get the nipples and repair the end of the cable to open and close the heater box flap? cable is intact but the nipple is missing and I'd like to repair it. Thanks!

It doesn't have a nipple, it has a screw/clamp thing. You would get the same cable you have now.

You got off cheap. $35.00 worth of small parts and pieces ordered yesterday, from one of the usual suppliers, to clean up the pedal box, $15.70 in shipping. For small itenms I can order overseas and get quicker delivery and even with the difference in Pounds vs. $ sometimes come out cheaper than ordering in U.S.

And we don't even want to talk about shipping costs from local Pack and Ship Stores. $16.00 to ship a Dual Master and $17.00 to ship a set of Wishbones. And that was cheapest rate, 5 day Ground. The cost of fuel is affecting not just costs for my fleet but everything. Keep printing money Fed... No we don't want to start that discussion.
