Aug 72 - Aug 73 late bay discussion. 73 model year.

That explains what I have in the pickup (79) - I couldn't see how one side opened. I need a bit of plastic

 

I have 3 in my 73.
Blue down = cold air. If I pull both red ones down I get heat to the screen. Other than that no idea.

Thanks ricky, Yes I have seen that. It doesn't say anywhere which is heat to feet though. I assume its left red down, right red up.

 

I was going to ask, but a guy called wizard once asked and all hell broke loose

 

On my 72 and my 68 the heat to the feet lever is on the totom pole in the centre.
Did it move later or have you lost your knob?

 

totom pole?
Nothing on here about no totom pole?

Lost my knob . m8 got a 70 with knob.

 

Where the kick panels meet in the centre there is a lever this redirects warm air to your feet

 

I have no knob, think it must be an early thing. Wish there was though.

 

you have checked it's connected? i think poptops didn't work as the cable was not fastened? you can hear it move the flap to down if it works - get it hot and feel - if no heat to feet not connected?

 

a bit more research suggests that Emden buses are not that far removed from South African buses, in that they too are CKD. Emden was an assembly plant only with the parts needed for these builds supplied by Hannover. I guess it would be safe to say that most were on dealership order and so long as the buses leaving the factory met the specification ie, was the right colour, seat colours and optional extras, how they got the van built would depend much the same as the CKD - if the newest spec parts were not there but there were parts capable of building a bus they would have used them to save halting the production line. So in theory all Hannover buses just assembled elsewhere.

 

i think joker is right, i doubt it mattered to many in the 70's if exact standards were met as long as it worked - it didn't at leyland........

 

I have the holes in the back plate for the shoe retainers, I replaced one back plate with a new part (that also had holes for the retaining pins)

3 heater leavers on mine BTW

 

I doubt it, if previous owners were willing to let it rot to the extent that it had they'd have neglected the mechanicals too.
