I have a stock RA-9A with a per plans Van's heater box set-up, the one with the push pull cable on the cabin side of the firewall. My problem is that the stock Vans detent cable seems to often vibrate closed. I have used various stop-gap measures in the past to rectify this problem such as a clothes pin between the knob and the panel on the heater cable to keep it open. Last winter however my clothes pin was lost on a trip. I resorted to using a small piece of duct tape to hold the knob in the open position for the flight home.
Now I am looking for a more permanent solution. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? If so please share the solution.
Thanks,
Bryan
