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

I'm in the market for some side steps for the Pinz. I have hub steps but need something with a little more step to them. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Just to follow up, I replaced the flasher with the NAPA part, and it cleared up the turn signal indicator flashing intermittently and when braking. It also isolated the turn signal switch problem. The right turn detent is worn and won't maintain a signal. I'll replace with the VW unit. Thanks for al...

Nope, stock tail lights.

Thanks for the tip. I was running out of ideas, so I'll try it out.

I fiddled around a bit, and things seemed to have cleared up. But now the turn signal light blinks once every ten seconds or so just driving down the road.

Thanks for the info. I did hold the drum on with lug nuts, albeit only two. The brakes had no fade whatsoever the whole trip, and haven't worked this well in years. I'm sensitive about brake drum heat since I had the drums turned a few years ago and the machine shop said they became somewhat egg sha...

Thanks. I'll fiddle with it and see if things change. I'll also check grounds, since I went through some water and may also have some salt corrosion.

I can't quantify "warm", but imagine putting your hand on the hood of a car on a summer day. About that warm.

You did adjust both shoes on each side? Yes You secured the drums when you made the adjustments? Not sure what you mean. You adjusted them in opposite directions? (One side is reverse thread, the opposite side is normal thread.) Yes. Is it 1 or 2 clicks back on the fronts? I can't remember? I can't ...

And another thing. Same trip as previous post, but I noticed that occasionally the turn signal light would come on for one blink during braking. I looked through the manual and it only mentions the brake light on the dash as a warning light, nothing about the turn signal light. Brake fluid is topped...

I recently bled and adjusted the brakes on my Pinz. I just got back from a drive around some mountain fire roads, and when I checked the brakes at back home discovered that the front brake drums were pretty warm, but the rears were just slightly warm. Granted, it is a long downhill back home, but is...

Thanks for the timely tip. I jacked up my Pinz yesterday and discovered it won't hold pressure any longer. I've had it rebuilt twice with limited success, so will give this place try. I'm sure shipping will be a drag but I need a working jack

Thanks.

I can't find Loctite 641, or any Loctite products in my area, only Permatex. Is there a Permatex equivalent to Loctite 641?

The splines must be a little softer than the gear, since the internal gear teeth are fine. I did a good clean-up and got out the bright inspection light and took a close look at each land and grove, and I couldn't find one bad spot.
