Heater Control Valve Assembly

[Steve1970]

i will be <span style="font-weight: bold">shocked </span>if i get an answer to this today since i know that all of you are responsible shoppers and are, at this very minute, breaking down the doors looking for holiday gifts on this black friday!!

anyhooo... i've got a functional heater control valve which i'm trying to re-assemble. i see how the 'cogs' of the top part sort of slide onto the 'cogs' of the lower part; but i'm confused as to how the two pieces stay together. if i keep rotating the top part, it will eventually slide free of the lower part. is there anything that should be keeping them fastened together? or is the idea that the cable can't be pulled far enough for that to happen?

many thanks, and hope you all had a good thanksgiving!

Don't have one in front of me, but I think there is one rivet that keeps it from rotating. Have fun shopping!

They come apart?
Throw it in the garbage and buy the better style

Thanks Don, A forum search turned up a thread from a few weeks ago that showed a similar valve too. I have all intentions of picking one up but our credit cards are pretty much locked down until the christmas shopping is complete. If I can get the old one back together and it lasts me until the snow, i'll be happy
