I don't see a place where I could mount it. It looks like it needs a solid surface to mount and compress the cable. I'm going to measure the cable with a micrometer and hunt for a small hose clamp that might I can tighten around the cable. I am concerned that it might lead to premature wear on the cable, though. The only alternative I see is to open the box and see if anything is loose inside that might be causing the problem.
You would only need a small square of steel to bolt it to, so it could be right on the cable near a support. Hanging so to speak but restrained.
Fixing the internals of the heater doors in the box is the best, although not likely you will be able to get any parts for it, and it may need a lot of dash disassembly to do. You may want to see how hard it is to get the slide control out of the dash, as sometimes they have the friction generation there. If you can find a service manual for the base van, it should show how it all works, or perhaps there will be a Utube video on it.
