Re: Air tunnel insulation

I used 1/2" Dynaliner and it worked very well. I made cardboard templates to get the correct sizes for the pieces before applying it.

Re: 1975 Pinzgauer 712M-Colorado $27,500

Great looking Pinz! And yes, I am going to ask. What are the new laws that would force one to part with it? Sorry if this is a thread hijack.

Re: Air ducts

My apologies, I made an error. I have not used ducting for the smaller third port to the heat exchanger.

Re: Air ducts

I used the 1 3/4" for that section when I replaced all of the ducting with SCEET a few years ago. It worked very well.

Re: For Sale: An Electrical Box

Paul, are those plugs the same size as the "stock" 710K plugs to the right of the table area?

Re: Oversized brake shoes?

I retrieved my drums after resurfacing today and all but one look great. One was found to be cracked so I have to order new anyway.

Oversized brake shoes?

Hi everybody! I have finally decided to tackle the brakes on my 710K; a long overdue job. I don't think the drums have been resurfaced before so my plan is to have them turned, knowing the max is 287mm +.2mm, if necessary. My question centers around the need for "oversized shoes". SAV sell...

Re: Loss of power/Stumbling....

In may limited experience, I would replace the cap and rotor. For a couple years I experienced the same thing, Truck was running on less than 4 cylinders but seemed to idle fine.
