While my heater box is out of the car, I've been sorting to stiff distribution flaps. Forgot to take a photo of the original positions. The front flap that does the footwell vents can only go one way, but the face & screen flaps can easily be 90 or 180 degrees out, because the square bar fits in multiple positions.

Does anyone have either a picture of where they should be, or an airflow diagram for the P38 ? Cannot find anything in RAVE.

This is where mine was before I touched it...

If you rotate the distribution cog all the way clockwise, that's full screen, so you could just line it up like that I think?

Yes I can get the gears correctly aligned, but the top right one in your picture can fit onto the square shaft in different positions. This means the screen flaps can be 90deg wrong !!

Found this picture online & added my annotations. It's unclear if those positions are with the gears removed or not.
I do have another heater box ordered, so hopefully it's un-tampered with.

In that position (on my picture) the flaps would be least hinderence to air flow, at the other end of the travel they'd be closed. Can you not put the sides back on you box and see where the flap are and adjust them accordingly?

In your picture above, the screen flaps look in the closed position, so that would be distribution cog fully counter clockwise, and then push the screen cog on.

Counter-clockwise? You can tell you spent time in the States. Anticlockwise in the UK.
