A Porsche replacement heater valve

On a different forum a fellow posted that he has swapped over to a Porsche Heater Valve and it reduces the Throw difficulty of the hot/cold slider.

It is more inline with the older vane type of slider that was installed on my 81 Diesel, I may have to try one, the issue I have is it is more than twice the price of the "remade" square style…..

I have found an all metal one that says it is a replacement but its cable isn't 90 degrees to the valve.

 

Hmmmmm

Interesting, I've been looking for something to replace my leaky original one for my 'clutterless' engine bay so I don't need to drill a hole i welded up.

There's also a vacuum operated one. I wonder how that works
