This is exactly same a mine - Jan 73 Devon conversion and has all of the above with a 1700 engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The Devon one didn't have a trip counter, so perhaps that was specific to microbuses or an optional extra?
@Scouse Nick I think most of the 3 lever crew have 2 red & 1 blue. Yours is probably uber rare limited edition
Great, thanks. Have you got the rest of the 73 manual as well? It says one of the levers operates an electric fan?!
As far as I'm aware, 4 lever controls have 2 separate cold air ones, one for each flap. Then one red lever diverts hot air out of the totem pole vents, the other red lever controls both heat exchangers. 3 lever controls just dropped one of the blue levers so both flaps opened and closed together. On type 4 engined vans with the snail fan, there's a switch(switchable earth maybe?)at the bottom of the red lever which controls the heat exchangers so when you push it right down(open) it turns the fan on.
Hi Mine is a September 1972 high light model it was registered in 73 but built 9.72 has all the features mentioned and the rear break set up is unusual with the brake shoes forgot to mention it's a westy continental
My van started out life with a 1700 type 4 engine, but I only had 3 levers (one of which I think ended up in Malc's van eventually ). I now only need 2 (one for fresh air vents, one for the totem to divert to screen/totem vents) due to the fact I also now have a 2 speed fan from the scooby heater box. Interesting about the vents labelled 13f, I have the holes but not the levers, and in the end I blocked off the pipes for those vents from the outside, because they were letting water in during wet weather as they weren't connected to anything (previous owner corner cutting strikes again).
13f is for pre August 1972, '4 lever' vans, look at the next diagram to see what you should have had on your superior '3 lever' van!
I have the 4 lever controls and have a type 1 engine. And it has the electric fan when put in the same position Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
There is no fan in the engine bay. And it does not have the ambulance fans fitted. Where would the original one be? I have tried to find it before. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I will keep looking got some stuff to do on it today. I will let you know if I spot it. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
On a separate theme.... My Ashtray has the gear locations etched into the plastic front ( not a stick on decal ). Generally Ive only seen either plain or textured fronts - so was this a particular year thing ?
