Do you mean the parts attached to the heater levers and cables on the dash blower unit?

If so...just repair what you have. I have broken many of these parts. The plastic is too brittle and when the cables get dry and stiff especially in cold weather...it snaps off the pin.

First fix is lubing the cables. The best lube I have found and it is permanent...is ATF fluid. Never dries up. Very low friction.

In this thread on page 12 I go through the repair. I will also make a seperate thread with excerpts so people can find it.
