I keep saying it. Don't want to repeat it. But I'm gonna. This forum is awesome.
I'll take some shots first thing in the morning and post. Its' so close that the linkage has worn through the insulation.
Thank you all for your help.

 

2 little screws gives those AC lines some wiggle room.

 

I took two photos but couldn't post them because I don't have my member number yet. Sorry. Will post when member number is emailed to me.

 

Thank you Steve. I'll take a look.

 

If you want to email them to me, I can post for you.

Steve, I finally got my Member number so I can post photos. (I'll email you as well)

Here's Driver's side and Passenger side views of the close tollerances. You can see the insulation is rubbed clean where the arm has been hitting it. What's odd, is that since I pushed the servo arm to the correct "cold" position for the first time I'm actually getting real, honest COLD air, and I realized that my passenger side servo has been stuck on Cold the entire time I have owned this car. Amazing what you find when you start looking.

Thank you.

Hmmm,

Am I doing something wrong posting the photos?

 

Hi Avery, I think the pics were just a tad too big. Must be less than 146.9k in size so I downsized them a bit. So, here ya go.

I find the best way to attach pics is to scroll down to "manage attachements" below the spot where you type in your message. Use that to attach the pics, not the upload, insert URL bit you mentioned.

I can't really tell that anything is outta whack by the pics. If the arm was attached in such away to not allow full movement, I suppose it could rub on something. If it's properly attached, then it shouldn't. What you want to do is disconnect the arm from the servo, put your temp control in the car on the blue dot, push the arm such that the mixing bowl door is closed, then re-attach the arm. That should have it attached properly. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steve

 

Hi again Steve.

Thanks for all your help. I guess my photo is too close. The servo looks to be positioned, and mounted properly, So it must be the A/C tubing that's improperly routed. (or bent inward.)

That worn insulation you see in the photo is from the servo arm rubbing into it. I'll try what you're asking, but it's tough to access the arm when it's pressed against the tubing like that.

I had last minute changes, so I'm stuck working this weekend, so I'm sunk on this until mid week.

 

Here's what my hoses look like for comparison. Looks like I get a little rub on the insulation too. The servo is in the closed, cold (blue dot position) for reference.

 

Steve.
Thanks for the photos. The comparison helps a lot actually. Besides having a cleaner air intake than me :-) Your insulation has less wear then mine, and it looks like your clearance towards the front is a bit better than mine. I think I'm going to pull the tube forward a bit, and dig a "groove" in my insulation, if for nothing else to make me feel better. Odd that such a fabulous machine would have a tiny servo motor have to power past an obstical like this. Hmmm.
Thanks again for continuing to work through this with me. I'd be more frantic if it were freezing here.
