Re: Bridging plates

The British army have stopped using bridging plates, no British Pinz has ever been fitted with one.

Re: Getting the most from the brake system of the Haflinger.

I'm rebuilding my old Haf and I've fitted a brake booster along with all new wheel cylinders and master cylinder I'll post how effective it is when it's up and running in a few weeks time. It's also got a TR engine so needs to be able to stop! :D :D

Re: 716M Real World Top Speed?

Auto every time, the problem with the turbo diesel is if you're in the wrong gear and it 'drops' off the turbo you're dead in the water, it just won't go! the auto masks this by kicking down into a lower gear, the manual box can really catch you out if you're not careful!!

Re: 716M Real World Top Speed?

A 716 should cruise comfortably at 65mph and touch 75 in short bursts. :D

Re: Cable Ties for TD's

Hi Peter. I had to find some for my 716 rebuild, they are Mercedes as fitted to Merc Sprinter vans, I took one in as a pattern to my Mercedes Commercial dealer and they recognised them straight away, if memory serves they were about 27 pence each.
Cheers Nigel.

Re: what about diesel pinz'es in Canada

I don't know about better economy, I get 21 miles per gallon ( that's imperial not U.S gallons ) but that's with an auto box and certainly using the performance. it will cruise all day at 75 to 80 mph! and keep up with anything away from the traffic lights. :D :D

Re: what about diesel pinz'es in Canada

Hi Phil. The truck has now covered 20,000 miles and apart from a broken altenator bracket (my fault for not making it strong enough in the first place) I haven't needed to put a spanner on it, it's since been chipped to 234 bhp with no detrimental effects on the transmission, I think the auto box he...
