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

Well, I hope you enjoy looking at the Facebook page.....It took 10 years to get the TD back on the road, but I got there.
I've done a number of trips, but nothing as "extreme" as I take the 712 on, as I built it up mainly for long distance touring.
Did a 1000km run up to see a mate, for a few days ...

G'Day All,
It's been many years since I've posted pics of my 718 Rebuild, but it's now been finished for some years ....Well do you ever fully finish a restoration.
I stopped posting years ago when my internet supplier dropped support for file/picture storage and I just never got back to posting ...

here banding wheels is not legal but removing the wheel centre and rewelding at a different offset is legal and ndxot all that expensive.
Tell me about it, I've just been through all that with the authorities.....Pinzgauer wheels are a pain to change as the material is so thick that the centre won ...

24 v petrol heaters are not available anymore here over in Europe ...

Webasto still list 24V, petrol units here in Australia.......strange they are not available in Europe, seeing they all come from there!

6.5" are standard.

I was waiting to see a Christmas Pinz image from the Professor. :)

Sorry Vince not this year.
My Mum passed away 4 weeks ago and what with losing my sister back in February I'm just not that Christmassy this year.

Usually the raceways are tight and require extraction by mechanical means, buy I have run into loose units over the years.......btw the raceway should be firmly attached to the wheel flange/stub axle.
I usually stick the loose raceways in place with Loctite and also thoroughly coat the O ring, but ...

Thanks Dave, yes I have those pics in the Parts Manuals, but I needed actual images of the chassis to show to the Registration Dept Engineers real component parts.
S-Tec have been very helpful!

Ditto Nigel.....I looked through all my pamphlets, bochures, files, images etc and couldn't find a thing. Thanks for looking anyway!

I've sent an email to S-Tec so I'll just have to wait and see if they can help.
