THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Useless fact - UK Pinz were never "NATO" green. Since the first vehicles were supplied by Austria they were painted Austrian army green (RAL6031) and to simplify spares supply all follow-on vehicle orders were in the same colour. The sand colour Pinz in the pics were painted by Automotive...

Anyone know the paint code for the desert yellow? Previous MOD desert colour was 'BS381C 361 Light Stone' but I don't know maybe my eyes are getting shot but I would say the Pinz above are more yellowish than Light Stone. I been told a lot of them get painted with a water base, junky paint, easy to ...

yahoo messenger is realy good also in either calling computers or landlines. Computers are free and landlines there is a fee of like 0.3c/min. I used to call UK to Aus for hours. :x :( :cry: unfortnately my current internet service is below what would be termed sh@# (bad). To give an idea how bad, I...

G'Day Prettysure the width is not the major problem in downlod speed. All the new digital cameras make big file sizes. The easiest tricks I found to resize photos are: 1. Print the photo to PDF using smallest file size setting. Cut and paste into a document. Right click on it, save as picture (JPEG)...

ok can get back in here now. I been overseas since '96 but the folks live in Kalgoorlie so I want to do this to the Pinz....... i.e. turn it red :twisted: The plan will be to do accross Aus again early '10 on leave Regards Mike http://lightweightlandroverclub.org/phpbb/download.php?id=634&t=1&am...

I have to concur with the dates and different meanings.. - My Lightweight by the UK licensing was deemed a 2000 release as this was the first date of registration. The body manufactured date is 1983. - I say body as in the UK, my understanding is the chassis for all intensive purposes is the car. A ...

Found this one on Ebay today http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PINZGAUER-716K_W0QQitemZ170290527720QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item170290527720&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 However I was more interested in his winch mounts and how he ma...

G'Day Ugo

I will send a PM in a sec as anything I can get to read would be good. The user manual should have a picture of the dash in it.

I still hope to source the Mil ones as I can then get them scanned, pdf'd at work.

G'Day Dave

I sent a reply to your email, thanks for that. When the deal goes through and I have the car in my yard we are going to have to do some picture swapping.

This winch mount you are talking about will be very interesting as I saw a snippet on one of them somewhere.

Regards


Mike

G'Day Peter Well that will make my day if it's the first one....... I am keeping it under wraps at present as I am in the midst of the deal. I have a bit of work to do on it, bits missing etc but they are a nice buggy. Of interest I may be able to lay my hands on another, but again waiting on the fi...

G'Day Ugo Oops! Should be a 1994 716! I was up way too late last night trying to chase more info as I tend to get a bit obsessive with finding information. I can do most things myself but need the info to be able to do it. Most stuff I find is for 710's so found very little in the past 24 hours. I f...

G'Day Just getting involved in Pinzgauer 816 with the purchase being finalized in 3 weeks. I see a lot of the part information in here with cross references to other vehicles etc. Also saw a comment regarding making up a list was that ever completed and available? I am also chasing overhaul and serv...
