Heater valve clamping bolt - Porsche part

[cdn97986]

My '75 02 was missing the proper heater valve when I bought it, and I found a used one that I rebuilt. The clamping bolt (shouldered bolt w/ the hole for the cable) was missing, and I was using a standard bolt with a hole drilled in it and some washers / nuts since they were NLA from BMW. The bolt did not articulate properly, causing binding, and I found a post here from a few years back referring to a Porsche part that "looked similar." I took a chance and ordered a clamping bolt for a '65-'86 911 (90121168300) since it was only ~$6. Installed it today, and it fits perfectly! They are available from a bunch of different vendors if anyone else is in the same boat I was.

Pinch bolt for the heater control cable on a 911, very similar application. 

Thanks for the tip.

I think I got mine from a choke setup… always good to have a few options, I’m pretty sure Jaymic have them now as well.

Given that both auto manufacturers bought

a lot of their components from domestic third parties, this

makes good sense.  Roundie taillight lenses are found on

VW's, as well.

 

My personal favourite of these is something I learned entirely by

accident long ago:

The Datsun Roadster and Volvo 122 have the same rear parking brake actuators.

The Volvo uses a British part outright, and 

Datsun manufactured it under license from the British.

They look different- they measure and function exactly the same.
