Hey guys,

I have an 'olympic crest' woodstove (cast in Yugoslavia!), which seems to be a Vermont Castings Defiant knockoff.
It doesn't look the best, but it burns great, and we're happy with it (it's in our rental home)

It has an air inlet damper on the back, controlled by a pull wire sort of deal. On top of the stove, there's 'HI' and 'LO' in the casting, as there would be a lever there to regulate the damper.

I don't have the lever. Do you guys have any idea where I might get one? I've attached some pictures for clarification. The little wheel with spring comes off, so if there's a system out there where I can just connect the wire to, that'd be great.

All info is greatly appreciated!
