that looks like it would work better than the original, thanks, I'll see if my local NAPA store can get it for me.

Does it look like the original rubber trim? Where did you get it? Thanks for the reply.

My back door on my 712 M has a rattle when I run it down bumpy roads. It looks like the hinges have some wear on them. Has anyone come up with a fix on this other than replacing the hinges?

I was recently informed by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol the other day that you could not drive a Pinzgauer on the Oklahoma Turnpikes. I asked him what was illegal about my 712 and all he kept compairing it to was the mini trucks that are being imported in. The minimum speed on the turnpike is 45 mph....

Guys, I'm kinda like you guys on the quick fixes. If this stuff doesn't stop it I will take a weekend and start pulling her down. I just wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with this stuff. Thanks for all the valuable input on this.

Erik712, please give me your take on this Lucas stopleak oil I want to try first.

thanks Blackstack, I might take you up on it. I am going to try some of the stopleak additive at Napa first.

I noticed I have some oil in my axleboot that is up close to the middle rearend. is this a major job to replace? Any special tools?

Could we see some detailed pictures of the fabricated aluminum tank and how much would it cost to have one made. I kinda like the idea of getting rid of the jerrycan. It would also be neat if it could be made to allow for more ground clearance.

no screeching on mine. We used to drill a small hole about 1/16 or smaller in the end of the fan motor in the center of where the bearing is and give it a couple of squirts of oil and it would usually quiten it up and buy some more time. hope this helps

Thanks guys, i will take a look at it my next weekend off and see if it looks out of adjustment.

My 82 712m has a occasional problem of jumping out of second gear when I take off from a dead start. Is this a syncronizer problem or possibly a bent shifting fork. How difficult is it to pull the transmission on my Pinz. Have any of you guys experienced this on your Pinz's. Thanks for any input on ...

Thank you for the information. I opted to put mine on the passenger side at the back of the firewall below the air filter. I made a small bracket out of aluminum and bent it in two different directions and drilled two holes in the back of the bed into the firewall. Got my correct angle also. Starts ...

You guys with Espar and Webasto heaters where are your fuel pumps located. Which side of the engine did you put it? Was it in the engine compartment or back by the fuel tank somewhere? I am down to the fuel pump part and the instructions say mount it below the heater at a 15 degree angle. There's no...

Does anybody want to share where they install their 24/12 converter in their Pinz? Also where do you tie it into on the 24v side. Pictures would be helpful. thank you.
