Disregard the spring in the pic below, I'm using it to keep the flapper shut:


What you are looking for is the slightly rusty tabs that 'clamp' the control cables. Two are used, the cable that goes to the fresh air plenum is held in place with a grooved grommet that is attached to the cable.

Bear in mind, that the 76-77 CJ were the only years to use this particular heater (although it is similar to the 72-75 years), so you'll need to do some junkyarding. I know of NO source for NOS or aftermarket parts for these heaters. MTS (http://www.mtscompany.com/airbox.htm) carries some reproduction items (I have one of their reproduction fresh air boxes, and my order their cable to check them out), but not the clamps. Check with Davey's Jeeps: D A V E Y S J E E P S . C O M - Specializing in Jeeps & Jeep Parts They may have them.

I believe I may have a couple in my basement if they don't.

It would be less work for you (and I) to PM me your address and I'll stick the two I found in the basement in an envelope. Free-bee, pay it forward, etc....
