Re: Swiss Flag Decal

Always wondered if the Decal should read "Schweizer Armee" or "Armée Suisse", sure it ain't "Swiss Army" to be proper :? Nearly correct :-) The Swiss army calls itself "Schweizerische Armee" in German http://up.picr.de/23999033tn.jpg snapshot from the mainten...

Re: rims and tires

Not everyone goes for larger wheels I need to get my Pinz 10 cm lower, so it fits into a garage I may use for free; so I modified VW emergency spare wheels... http://up.picr.de/23907560xo.jpg http://up.picr.de/23907561ne.jpg http://up.picr.de/23907562bj.jpg http://up.picr.de/23907563ho.jpg

Re: rims and tires

New wheels (and rubber too) in place. These are the 2015 Ford Transit Custom rims 16". 60mm offset which must be a bit more than the original as they sit out about another 1/2 each compared to the old ones. Take a standard off the shelf wheel nut with a 60deg taper. Ian I checked in to a local...

Re: Engine variations

I can only assume the factory adapted to a variety of fuel qualities.
The worse the fuel the less compression and horsepower .....

makes sense to mill offf some material from the heads if you live an a high quality fuel area ...

Re: Connecting rod length

I don't of recall offhand but look in the manual. Whatever the stroke is should be the length center to center I believe. wrong ! The stroke is the distance the piston moves between top and bottom dead centers. The only relevant info i could find originates from the Austrian Army maintenance book. ...

Re: Pinzi SSI

This system would not have anything common to the 24v system other than the ground (frame). yes, but ... I suggest to connect the minus connector of the 12 v and the "lower" of the two 24 v batteries together. This results in getting the ground connection for both circuits (dis-) connecte...

Re: Riddle

If the rest of the ring and the spring get through between a piston and a cylinder there is no way your compression can be identcal across all cylinder.

I would assume the mechanic performing the repair was too lazy to remove the oil pan to check for debris

Re: Pinzi SSI

I am surprised to find out that PinzSSI is also a 12 V solution requiring a voltage converter....
looking at the electrical power steering I guess it is about time to install a 12V generator and build up a parallel electrical installation :-)
