Would this be what you are looking for? Cable that connects from the heater lever through the conduit seen here in the picture and connects to the front floor heat vents?

I'll be surprised if you find that sleeve. I was looking for it years back and nobody had it at that time. But I found a perfect alternative at ACE hardware. I forget what it was meant for, maybe running house phone wire. Something else that doesn't exist anymore Smile

I think I once read someone bought a cable for front and rear brakes on a bicycle and took the cable out and simply used the conduit to route the cables.

Just an idea.

ah that triggered my memory. It was choke cable for a gas lawnmower. But I can see the bike idea also working.

AlmostHeavenWV_VW, BUGGED11111,
