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

The part number you list is for the air-cooled Pinzgauers 710/712 - but you also included the designation "H2" which is a reference to the two "humps" which help to hold the beads on to the rim at low air pressures - these humps were not included on the air cooled Pinzgauer wheel...

Seems like it should be possible to do - have you pitched the idea to SAV or EI - the prices that both have gone for is similar...

I agree with Vince - but an additional issue is that there are very few wheels (either stock or aftermarket) that have enough back spacing. The original Pinz wheels have 6.6" / 168mm (which is unusual since the wheel is 6.5 inches wide). The ford transit wheel is close - it has a backspacing of...

Doesn't Jim's (Goatwerks) 2.7 liter piston set also increase the compression ratio? I think it would without requiring modifications of the engine tin holes etc. as well.

Anyone know?

The hole looks too small for the Pinzgauer's pintle hitch. You'll also have a part hanging down acting like a plow when you attempt to climb up a step or steep grade. Unless you really use the pintle hitch, I would just go with the 2 inch receiver myself...

Continental Mark VII 1984 The Continental Mark VII was introduced in August 1983 for the 1984 model year. It was available in a base trim level, Designer Edition (Bill Blass Edition and Versace Edition). A new sport-oriented upper trim level was introduced with this generation, called the LSC (Luxur...

It was built by Steyr but was based on BMW's petrol motor - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The BMW M21 is a six-cylinder-inline-diesel engine developed by the bavarian engine manufacturer BMW. It uses (indirect) fuel injection and is based on the M20 petrol engine and was produced for BMW by ...

Getting closer - the end is almost in site...

Quite a variety of switch types - which often makes it easier to remember which one does what...

Thanks for posting your progress.

I've had one of David's receivers on my pinz for a very long time and have used it to do numerous recoveries with straps, cables and receiver mounted winches. I even pulled a former grayhound bus MH conversion out of a ditch and hauled a 6500lb 35 foot long trailer "off-road" around my pro...

There always seemed to be a "opening" left in the model numbers of the Pinzgauer series of vehicles - so here you go!
And while we are at it -

I mentioned the 5 cylinder MB diesel motor used in the Sprinter because it would be a similar application and similar weight / frontal area.

The Cummins 2.8 engine is a high speed motor - the peak HP rating is up at 3600 RPM in the specs and I've heard the redline is 4500 rpm - same as a MB diesel.

Still on the market apparently - but without photos?

I always wondered about that as well - but that was how they were made... I think the only drive "wheel" for the tracks was at the very rear and they set it up higher to give more clearance and to keep it out of the mud that way... There were also amphibious versions which were called &quo...

Although it sounds small (2.8 liter) - the specs match up very nicely with the 5 cylinder Mercedes Diesel Sprinter engine - which gives very reasonable performance for a similar weight and frontal area vehicle. Certainly would be a preferred engine compared to the 6 cylinder volvo/vw engine - but th...
