911 Flapper Boxes...
What is the best and cheapest place to buy two new heater control boxes(flapper boxes) for a 1973 911T? I did a little research and found TWEEKS to be the best that I could find so far at around $69 each. I pulled the right flapper box yesterday with no problem. I soaked the left box with wd40 while I was under the car and was able to get 2 of the 3 bolts off. The last bolt, which was very hard to get to, seemed to be stuck.

I have a set of slightly rusty, but usable ones from a 70T they came off easy

Not sure about the boxes Bill, but what are you replacing the flexible pipes with? The porsche ones here are hideously overpriced- for what they are anyway. I guess they need to withstand heat, but why so special?

I bought mine from Parts Heaven in Hayward, CA. They were used but looked brand new for a 83SC. 1-800-767-7250

Matt, are these the same flexible air ducts that run from the engine fan to the heat exchangers? If so I managed to replace mine with hoses I picked up from Repco (i'm sure they're in NZ) for literally a fraction of the cost of originals.
Hope this helps. Regards, ------------------ Paul 911T'69 |

Matt, I got my new flapper boxes, along with new heater hoses the other day from Tweeks. I got the Loprene hoses to replace the originals. I also got two new gaskets from Stoddard. These gaskets were a little odd looking, but made very well. They are not made of cork, but rather look like a combination of rubber and plastic. They are very pliable, and they look like they will last a long time. I plan to undercoat the area that the boxes sit prior to installation of the new boxes. I'll keep you updated.
