I have the new core in now but while removing the cover i broke a little plastic holder for one of the climate control cables which was part of the cover. Its just a ring like that appeared to receive the cable with a gromet like collar but its broken of completely now so no way to affix the cable to keep it from moving when you slide the control. I want to know if anyone thinks i can rig it with lots of eletcrical tape or heavey wire maybe or if i am going to find anything i try inadequate and therefore i should just buy another Heater Core Cover. What a bitch getting that clasp down over the two side pipes. took me an hour and a half . Also The old core had washers as well as O-Rings. Washers fitted in the core openings , O-Rings over the pipes. I took kept the original aluminum pipes but ther were JUST O-Rings on the new core, no Washers fitted under. I lost one of the new O-Rings putting it on. It just sprang out oif my fingers and dissapeared. I used one of the washes in its place ON the PIPE so as i have it fitted now There are Two new O-Rings on two of the pipes and One Old Washer on the other and i didn't reuse the other washers in the Heater Core Body opening figuring the new one didn't come with them so they were redundant. I am running out of light but I;m going to refit the three coolant hoses to the Pipes now and see if i get any leakage. I'll check back here after i do that to see if anyone had an answer about the cable holder ring deal. Thanks a million . I'm on call for work tomorrow and need to have this at least driveable.
