Doh!   I say again, "DOH!"

This is exactly my problem.  If I re-examine the cabin heat valve, I see that the "design problem" I referred to is cured in this manner.  The "manufacturing defect" is not, but I can fix this by straightening out the flipper plate (whatever it's called) if I have to.  First, however, I'll connect it to the exhaust of my vacuum cleaner and see if the small gap is a problem.  It may actually be just fine.

Thanks a lot, Scott!
