Does anybody have a spare heater vent rod. It’s the one that’s attaches from the heater control mechanism to the vent flap on the actual heater box.

This rod?

That’s the one. I tried to upload that photo but wouldn’t work from my iPad.

Easy to make and even the special tool to put the correct bend into a straight piece of rod is readily available form a hobby shop that caters to the model aircraft industry.

The tool in question makes a bend at 90 degrees and then at the same time puts another bend in that follows the original straight line of the rod also at 90 degrees so you effectively have a step at right angles in the rod that locates and rotates as needed when fitted into a pivot hole exactly like used on many carburettor linkages and heater control rods,When I bought mine about 10 yrs ago it was about $12.00 Aus every toolbox should have one

Does anybody have a photo of the end that attaches to the vent flap?

Could someone possibly take a photo of the rod and some measurements of it. I’d really appreciate it.
