Default Help identify A/C vacuum actuator

One of the many vacuum driven actuators in my 1969 aircon is broken (pin side seal) and I'm looking for a replacement. Different vendors have different descriptions for the various actuators , but none of the descriptions makes sense to me!

The actuator I'm looking for is the one that's mounted on the inner heater/aircon box and has the tan and red hoses connected to it.
There is a similar actuator mounted on the small "upper/lower" selector part which has blue and red hoses connected to it, the only difference between the two is that the one I need doesn't have the pin used to secure the hose on the side that's pointing inside the heater/aircon box.

Please point me in the right direction, a link or two would be nice.

Thanks in advance

Hi k,
Dr. Rebuild's catalogue has some diagrams of the heater box showing the actuators placement and should help you to decide which actuator to order.
Regards,
Alan
