I'm looking for a right rear "bumper" (see photo in prior post) and a right rear brake line (the short one that hugs the axle); if anyone has use parts that will work, please let me know.
Jorgo speculated about the "pucker factor" and my status on the mountain. Actually there wasn't much of a pucker factor until after the Pinz was out of the ditch and I was alone again on the mountain with it it safely restored. Then I "hit the wall." I guess I had been running on adrenaline for the past week -too much else to think about. And yes, I was alone when this happened. Only two people knew where I was. They were a few hundred miles away, and were unknown to people who expect to see me on a daily basis. No cell phone reception up there. One of the people who knew where I was planned to be up there on Saturday, so my "wait time" would have been 2-1/2 days or so.
Just one of many "ifs" in this whole affair: One end of the culvert had a flange and the other end didn't. If the guy who installed that culvert 100 or so years ago had reversed it, I might well have been upside down at the bottom of that gully.
Sorry Texas Pinzgauer, no video and no camera crew. And we're not going to reenact this one!

Re: Help - Stuck - How to Sling A Pinz
Glad to hear this worked out ok in the end. I'd suggest you contact Dennis Williams at Linden Engineering about the brake line. IIRC, he recently wrote that he had broken up a wrecked Pinz, and he just might have what you need.
