Simplified 5KTQ heating

[Haydn Taylor]

Hey Tom,

It should be really easy to do a manual setup on the bowden cable instead of
vacuum. this sounds good to me. I will check into the euro spec parts. do
you know what particular model number I should be asking my friends in the
UK to look for for these 3 dial control setups?

Thanks

Timmmy
