can someone tell me wh do i have 4 levers 2x red 2x blue

i can`t find out the use of them

 

[Djoul]

the red on the left is to open left heater box (down=open)
the red on the right is to open right heater box
the blue on the left is to open left fresh air ventilation by the front grid (down=open)
the blue on the right is to open right fresh air ventilation (down=open)

 

[vjffwd]

thanks the thing was that i have only found with 2-3 levers ....

Good to see another legend coming back to life. Plenty of work in front of you but you know it will be worth it in the end. Good luck finding parts and keep us updated, cheers

 

[vjffwd]

thanks !

yes now i am seaching for a new front but it`s hard since we don`t have many t2a`s , this month i will repair the cargo floor and i hope i will have the money to buy the right back corner to change it , and now i am in some discussion with red bull maybe the bus will become an oficcial car for them next to a hummer h1 , if i can`t i will think of a color to paint it maybe petrol blue and white top white or chromed bumpers ..... thanks for all your help and advices looking forward for your comments ..

cheers!
