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

Sold.

This is not what many of you think it is. It's a battery bulb syringe with the nozzle bent with the help of a heat gun to go through the blank gauge port to fill/suck out the hydraulic fluid reservoir behind the dash. Has worked for me quite well. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3YeTMCl0AmA/VAoy1...

Brilliant, Ed!
Thanks for discovering and clearly posting this.
Do you think it was one of those cleverly designed items by the.Pinzgauer engineers to keep enemy troops out, or just a fortuitous placement of rods and screws?

Scott,
Hope you and the new EI survived without damage!

Where do you put your head?

I got a dirty look from a Seattle-ite after I parked next to her Subaru at a trail head a few years ago. I smiled and said "Hi" and by the look on her face she seemed to have smelled something very bad then asked me what that "thing" was. I politely told her it was the new "...

As a wood worker, I'll be interested to see how the top edge of the wooden rail holds up over time. If I read the cross section correctly, you have the rabbet cut for the metal bracket only about a 1/4 inch under the top angled cut of the wooden rail.

Nice wheels.
Where did you find them?

I remember a post years ago on this site in which someone in a state government (Wisconsin?) said that a Pinzgauer was so ugly, that it should not be allowed on the road. Like a mother, someone created and thought this was a good idea at one time. Beauty is, apparently, in the eye of the beholder. :?

I have used King Starboard with very satisfying results. Works like wood, can use regular routers/saws. Screws and pre-drilling are needed for secure joinery, but now they claim to have a glue for it as well. Only problem is the black dust/shavings make quite a static electric mess, but clean up wit...

Addendum:
New heavy duty clutch (BMW) put in 1,000 mi ago.

After all I put into my Pinz, I want it to go to a good home, someone who can appreciate and use
it well, so listing it here before putting up on ebay or similar.
No, it cannot be registered in California (1976).

I always thought land cruisers were for pussies,but I had no idea they thought so too!
