[DeTomaso] help with disassembled heater on/off switch

[Barry Seib]

Hi Chris

I rebuilt mine last year. I had a hard time finding the tiny seal you're talking about and the O ring should be Gycol proof too. Not many O rings are. My valve is back together so I can't look at the white plastic part for you, but if you send me a good large photo of the part, I'll offer you my opinion. If your valve is actually repairable, I'll go looking for the parts you need. I think I bought a spare seal because it was so hard to find the right ones.

  That is exactly the one.  I think all I need is the tiny, rubber washer thing through which the "L" shaped rod slides.
   
  Sincerely,

  PS:  The while plastic part appears to have a crack in the side, but upon closer examination, it looks like it's a small slit that is supposed to be there.  Does yours have the same tiny gap in it?

    Is this what your valve looks like?
