To refit the new cables (B and C) carry out removal operations in reverse order, noting that the end of the sheath without the terminal must be inserted in metal clips (5 and 11 respectively) so that the mixer and distribution flaps can move through their entire travel.

NOTE To correct position of sheaths of cables (B and C) the instrument facia need not be removed because the repair can be carried by working from the bottom right in the middle.
