Re: Rivnut tool

What I used. Works great for this situation. It came with m4 and m5 but I have not replaced any of that size.

Costs almost half that to ship just an engine and all the bits across the country. And you can roll this one around.

Re: Easiest way to work on dash wiring??

If you're curious, those little thingies are Vibrex fasteners. They're pretty neat if the rubber parts are not all dried out and they still work. 1/2 turn clockwise and they click locked, the other way unlocked. A strong hold and quick release if they work as designed. SAV actually has them 71117101...

Re: License Plate Lighting

I did all of the inside lights, panel, instrument, and license plate with superbright LED bulbs in my K. All the panel, instrument, and locker lights had to have the bulb dome lopped about in half with a dremel cut-off wheel to fit. The map light over the glovebox fits without modification. The mod ...

Re: rub rail nuts

The following bits I used to replace rivnuts on my 710K (Austrian), and they pretty much match up to the hardware size previously installed. I don't think the original rivnuts are stainless steel (looks to be aluminum to me), but I put stainless steel hardware to replace the originals. McMaster Carr...

I think this one has been on ebay more at least once in the last year or so. "Sold" to a zero feedback bidder it might be back again on ebay.

Re: No Clutch

The last maintenance I did was to lube the drive shaft, and to do so I put the transfer case in neutral so I could spin it. It just hit me after I replied to Undy's post. Sure enough....I have a clutch again!! Ah ha! Did the same drive shaft lube last weekend and had the same duh moment when I fini...

So when you found yourself with over-full portals (and low-diff level), it goes without saying you have leaking diff seals.

Another (probably extraordinarily) dumb q... When the portals have become completely full with diff oil, then??

A curious system indeed.

Re: Portal/axle/diff oil leak question

Sorry for the basic question but...

If the oil migrates out of the diff seals (and axle boots are in-tact), does the oil make its way down into the portal hub? I have never been into the insides of this system and am curious "where the oil goes"?

Thanks.

Re: Tires - convince me.

Maybe time to ask about tubes in radials... When I picked up my Pinz fresh from Austrian import, it had the standard Austrian Semperit Ameri-grip (marked as radials) that I have seen on all the factory refurbished 71X models from the Austrian military. And all have had tubes in them. The dealer also...

Not to make your thread wander, but still on my to-do list. I just wish there were a less intrusive way to do AC, even though the conversion on Neil's 712K was pretty nice.

If you call the LA location, he will likely recall what we put on there exactly since I took it to their small warehouse/office in Burbank and we got the perfect set-up. It was all on the shelf there. Feet were stock feet. If you look at their site, you see what is there in the pics so I dont know ...

Re: Eberspacher BN4 Questions

I'm confused. The stock Heaters had an external 24v pump? Where is it mounted on a K? On my K the electric metering pump is installed behind a panel in the right front wheel well by the tank. When the heater controller is calling for fuel, you can feel or hear the pump ticking if you listen closely...
