Re: electric power steering

Most of these electric power steering are only suitable for vehicles with a Max Weight or 4500lbs or 2000kg. Depending what you carry in your vehicle these may be a bit small.

Re: Question about fuel pump block off

Hmm - I also have an electric fuel pump and just have a plate over the hole - as I do not have any issues I guess I can assume it was done right and not pull the cover off just to have a look see.

Re: Haflinger Zenith Carby

Yes it did and looks OK - I am waiting for a local carby expert to get back from holidays to discuss with him getting it rebuilt using the specifications provided by Jim in an earlier post. I will also need to source a manifold as mine was modified to take the carby I currently have. I have the corr...

Re: Haflinger trailer

All I was curious about was what nose weight you got from the position of the Haflinger in that sort of trailer. John We have similar laws to the UK - hence I put brakes on my trailer to carry the Haffie. I have not measured ball weight on my setup as it will be well less than the requirements of a...

Re: Steyr, or Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 G-class

The 6x6 was developed for the Australian (not Austrian) Army vehicle contract and we now have them in service - looks like MB has decided to use the basic design to produce civilian versions.

Re: Haflinger Distributor Maps

Thanks Jim - I gave a more detailed response over on TheHaflinger forum.

At the back of my handbook was a handwritten map that I took to be a modifed 123 map but it ties in with the Haflinger one you published - so the previous owner who did this work must have used it.

Thanks again

Thanks Jim - My home is 650m (2000Ft) and local mountains where I go are 1500m (5000Ft) but occasionally I am down on the coastal sand dunes. Temps range from 45°C (110F) in summer down to -8°C (17F) in winter.
