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

I would be very interested to know what you have all done to reduce noise. My 710k needs all the help it can get. I thought of using the foil backed styro-foam construction materials covered with a plastic paneling for asthetic comforts. The exhaust system is first to be fixed of course.

Ideas?

If you need help from the SF Bay Area let me know. Ya'll Always have a place to stay when you make your trip south if you pass through the Bay Area.

she'll start right up for you. Just don't forget the choke.

OK, Planning for summer. Has anyone tried one of the Swampy air conditioner/ evaporative coolers in a 710K? It looks like a couple of their models may work but I wonder how much cooling they actually provide in the K model. If they work I plan on the purchase plus installing insulation in the vehicl...

I am so sorry that one of our group has passed. especially in a violent manner. My prayers go out to family and their circle of friends and aquaintences. Having retired from the emergency services and currently working as a death investigator, I see to much pain related to the cowardice of others to...

My hand throttle ( the one attached next to the choke control on floor in front of drivers seat) is attached to a round rod that attaches to the caburator throttle linkage which activates the dual carbs. Screw adjustments on pivoting round connectors. Only the choke is cable actuated. Seems there ar...

Greetings......Looking for any input on sourcing an overhead console that will run fore to aft in the drivers compartment to house a stereo, overhead lights, and my David Clark Comm System.

Living Here in the lovely San Francisco Bay area I experienced the same neighbor and HOA Rules. Had no less than seven visits from Police. I think I finally figured out who it was after the home owner association asked if the Pinz would float and propel itself in water (read No boats allowed in fron...

Thank You....I'll continue the search.

Thanks for your reply. I am looking for the wipe strips and hoping someone has a source for these other than SAV. They're great folks but they currenty carry an after market product cut to length with a pair of dykes. Not up to snuff. Definately not OEM or equivilent. INventory is always a challeng....

Greetings all, Does anyone have a source for the channeled window bar/gasket with the furry edge that seals the split between the sliding windows on the doors. Looks like the type used in early volkswagon van windows. EI has not had them for aboout a year and Scott wasn't happy with the material pro...

Greetings from Captxmas in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yep, the sunny state of California(or at least down south it is). I purchased by 710K from a fellow in Nevada. I drove it home, took it to the DMV and registered it with no problems. Licensed as a regular vehicle and no special requirements. The...

Theres been plenty of responses but.......We never seem to see the means to keep the odometer from breaking in the first place. I was taught a little secret that I beleive to be true but you experts will be able to verify. The knob for the trip odometer can only be turned one direction. althugh it m...

I'm tall so any retrofit seat had to accomodate hieght. I used the front seats from an accura integra ( Honda) and cut off the bottom track assemble and mounting brackets to reduce hieght. Then mounted seat to flat metal plates and notched them to fit the three mounting points for the original seats...

Just an FYI ....although I have not installed my kit yet, Scott at Expidition Imports has a great step by step with pictures on his website. ZClick on the Add above. Hope this helps.
