Supervan 1

[Neil]

those airvents appeared around 71 same time as swinging pedals so guessing it was a brand new shell

Yes probably mate perhaps ford wanted to show all the new mods on there transits, and I can't think of a better way to do it this is in my top 3 vehicles

[Ellwood]

not according to the information I have. Bulkhead mounted pedals came along with the post 1969/1970 facelift, along with the different grille, tail lights etc.

My Mk1 Tranny twinrearwheeler is registered in 1970, and has pedals through the floor

I seem to remember the wheels were specially cast by revolution and were a bit porous, the front suspension was based on Jag uprights. Pedals operated cylinders with remote reservoirs.

That is interesting, I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were cast by Revolution too, and very porous! I emailed Revolution last year, but they knew nothing about them. Probably different owners by now Interesting about the Jag uprights, I have been trying to figure out what they might have used. Would have to house a decent bearing to have those wide wheels hanging off there.
