Any Series 3 V12 enthusiast have the length dimensions for the two heater outer flex housings.
First flex housing is C15714/6; the second is C15714/9.
One is 30" in length but not sure which part number it matches to. Any and all info would be most appreciated. RTC 9014 Parts Cat. - page 27.28.

I have my Series III in pieces so I can take photos of most anything.
I think I have the correct cables you refer to.
Here is an overview photo of the two cables in question.
The top cable sheath is ~30" long
The bottom cable sheath is ~23.5" long
(Both cables took a set over the years - hard to straighten them and then measure them - lengths good +/- 1/2")

Let me know if you need more info/dimensions.
FYI - I plan to slip each cable into a long length of black shrink tubing just to help dress up the engine bay a bit. Not Concours; Don’t care
Hi Craig,
Perfect pictures - just what I was searching for. As I catalog parts I just wanted to insure what P/N goes with which flex cable.
I did the same with the choke cable. Stripped off all the old covering and applied black heat shrink over the cables. Looks like new.
One other thing I did and recommend is sourcing a spray can of dry Teflon lubricant. I sprayed each inner flex cable with the lube and the cables slide without friction. The dry Teflon won’t attract grit or dirt like a liquid type lube spray.
Thanks again,
Happy Trails,
Dick
