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

It does but it appears the top portion of the slider was no used.
Using it gives a frame tHe seat botttom bolts to so it can be removed
easily.

These rails are not easy to take apart, PIX below. I got my trusty angle grinder out and lopped of one end of the bottom slider and that was enough to get the ball bearings and other bits to come out freeing the slide to separate. I could not figure out what was holding these in place. It should bec...

Ya, I had trouble just posting text this morning, after submit I was taken to page
which then barfed up a fair amount of HTML error messages, although the posting
went through anyway.

I’ll post some pix’s later today. Been constantly raining up here in The Santa Cruz mountains and power finally called it quits. So will Be a bit before I get back into this. But ya. I’m tossing the rails I will need to retain a portion to bolt the two seat members together This is the part that see...

The chap in San Diego is still parting out Smart Car Fortwo's so I picked up a set of seats for my 712 project. Plan is to use the lower portion of the Pinz seat frame and weld these seats in as others have. But...I'm wondering how far down does one strip down the Seat frames? The PIX's on this thre...

The one quirk with that solid state flasher is that it may false trigger the Flasher light even with the turn switch in the neutral position -- which is a nuisance but not a real problem. Not everyone had had this problem, I know of two cases, there may be more. See thread below. http://real4x4forum...

Well it's running OK now. Amazed it ran at all. Brake boost line broken, big Vacc leak. Throttle plate on one card separated from the body, another vacc leak, accel jets plugged. Completely out of balance carbs and linkage holding one throttle plate open. Just got the carb balancing airflow meter to...

Yu'll also have to replace your turn flasher. They are current activated.
LED's don't draw enough current to make your bi-metal based flasher
flash reliably. SAV has one that is solid state and will flash proper.

Hmmm, interesting, well it is confusing, especially if your reference is the standard hard copy Ersatzteilkatalog, Group 1 40. Which is far more cluttered with breakouts than your images and shows no reference to O-rings for the Idle valves #62 and #63 (spring). I guess one should always double chec...

Thanks for posting that link! Interesting, well my idle jets are definitely the older style as per the Pinz doc's. The telltale is there's a seat for an O-ring with thee newer ones. Kind'a not necessary though, as far as a fuel leak, always under a vacuum -- one could argue though there could be a v...

Going though some Carb tweaks and fixes myself on my 712 project.
O-rings on the Injectors as they would experience fuel under positive
pressure from the accelerator pump. No O-rings or washers for the Idle
jets they operate under a vacuum. So your right they don't belong there.

IMHO get your exhaust components ceramic treated, header wrap has the
problem of trapping moisture accelerating rust. Just be careful of some of
Charlestons out there on coating treatments, ask hard questions. the best
processes coat both external and internal surfaces.

There is fundamentally nothing wrong using a DCDC converter to run any electronic device inc. a ECU. That said there is a lot of complete crap on the market, and some subtle points one needs to know ahead of time for proper selection and operation. One fine point is 12V is a generic term. When one s...

Well Tjerk, I am sorry to inform you that a Bugati wheel is 130x5, so you are SOL

Bump..bump...

I would also consider a complete set. Or if anyone has been
successful replace the cable W/O damaging the ends.

I just don't want to spring for a new set from SAV given a
conversion in the near future.
