To procure a 21 foot cable, return the original, in new and unused condition, transportation prepaid, to Johnson Motors, Attn: Service Department, Waukegan, Illinois 60085. At the same time, mail a letter stating that a particular cable (give part number) is being returned for exchange. This letter, written to the attention of our Mr. Harold Dunning, will identify the cable and ensure prompt handling.
NOTE: This program is to be used for exchange purposes only. If additional lengths are required beyond the 21 foot length, you will need to order extra cables through your Parts Distributor and splice them together.
