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

Not sure if this is your issue, but this is what happened to me SEVEN years ago and the fellas round here were a big help!

Impressive work Tim

Thanks Tim. I believe (experts correct me) that you do not need to disassemble the black housing to remove the orange button. The orange button should pop out as it just clips onto a metal latch inside the housing. Don't anyone experiment with their seat belt at the risk of damaging it. If someone i...

Boy, that sure looks like what is in my Pinz. I do need a photo of one of the orange buttons removed from the housing, so I will know what to get at the junk yard.

Thanks for posting.

Any chance someone could pop one of these release buttons out of the housing and take a couple of photos that I could use when I head to the junk yard? (I am working away from home for an extended period and do not have access to my Pinz).

Thanks!

Good looking truck with lots of nice upgrades. Good luck!

I could not see the photo above a t work. What is the definition of a "MKI" VW? What year span and which model(s)? Thanks, this has been very helpful.

Anyone know of a source for these VW seat belt release buttons?

Hmmmm.... you may be on to something. I am unfortunately semi-permanently geo-separated (1800+ miles! ) from my K. Please let me know if this would be a suitable substitute. A VW part cross-fitting to a Pinz is certainlly not a stretch.

Thanks (for thinking outside the box)!

Pm sent.

More than willing to use the sponsors (and have ) but did not see this plastic button on any sites. No need (I hope) to replace entire seat belt assembly, just the release button is broken.

Looking for a source. Mine has cracked and won't stay in place. Thanks!

Good info Vince. I appreciate the advice. I placed 42 psi in them last week (the tire shop put them at 65 and that was scarry at speed!). I may try 35 to compare, but generally like the on-road manners so far. They are just such a different tire than the Maloyas that I am sure I will have to re-esta...

Thanks for the info. Vince, are you saying you can air down Treadwrights down to 18 psi? BTW, the Treadwright site says 80 psi max for my Crawler M/Ts and that you should refer to the manufacturer's recommended psi which in the case of a Pinzgauer is 2 bars or about 29 psi. Soooooooo, would other Tr...

I installed a set of new Treadwright 235/85R16 crawler M/Ts on my K. My old Maloyas took 29 psi for road use and was wondering what folks have found to be a good psi for on and off road.

Thanks!
