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

I'm in the process of replacing all the little bulbs on my 712 AMB-s with LED bulbs and I'm looking for all the cross-references I can find. I see others have posted all the dash indicator bulbs. I will annotate these later. As I find all these bulbs I will update in Bold. Front trun signal lamps (1...

Thanks to both of you. I think that is what I'll be doing. I better buy the jack first as that area is going to get a bit crowded. I was planning on putting 2 20 inch light bars on either side of the windshield washer nozzle.

I'm very curious about the pre-existing bolts and rivet nuts located in various places of my 712 body and what their original purpose was. I'm particularly interested in the four bolts on the front of the vehicle. They appear to be 8 mm bolts with 13 mm heads spaced 10 cm vertically and 100 cm horiz...

I've encountered other nutserts on the fiberglass ambulance body including the unit plate that look like they were done correctly and the screws come right out. Not sure what was wrong with that plate holder and how the nutserts there got so corroded.

I mounted it today with steel carriage bolts completely through the door. Well sealed with silicone caulk.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced powder coater Phoenix area? I would like to get my transit wheels powder coated.

I considered using sex bolts but decided instead to use a stainless 1/4" carriage bolts because I want to caulk them and be able to remove the the license plate in the future without having everything twist inside. I have the parts and plan on drilling the holes tomorrow. Today I was working on...

The ambulance door is not so thick. Starting to think about a couple through bolts instead.

Upon further inspection, the quick detach mount was mounted to a oversized aluminum plate that was definitely not military. It was installed so high that it would have blocked dissasembling the two licence plate lamps to change bulbs. It looks like someone put four rivet nuts into the fiberglass thr...

Does anyone have the electrical and physical specs for the ambulance box connectors on a 712amb? I think one is for the ambulance and the other one is the same as all pinzgauers, but I'm not sure. The one that the ambulance cable is attached to does not have a weatherproof cover which I would need i...

I finally passed smog on the third try after some valve and carb work and got my new 712amb licensed and registered. I ended up going to a private MVD office after the supervisor at the MVD went into a meltdown over the VIN being too short, certificate of compliance, gray Market, and LV3 inspection,...

I'm glad you found it Mike!

Very nice build. I look forward to seeing in person at a SWPA event.

I believe I saw your 710m in Willie's shop wnen I picked up my 712amb. He used it to show where to install the reverse sender. Turns out mine has the sender already but the previous owner disconnected it and reverted to stock lighting (probably an authenticity restoration).
