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

Hello Hugues, PinzSSI is no longer available, but PowerArc was the manufacturer of the system and might be helpful- https://www.powerarc.com/papinzssi.html Even though I'm happy with my PinzSSI system, I'm also considering a Speeduino system as it allows for a precise spark control now and eventuall...

FWIW, I'm having my heads re-done at the moment with a reputable aircooled VW shop in Idaho. I'd rather not post their info before I know for sure that they've done a great job on mine. They're excited to work on Pinzgauers and are going to use my heads to setup jigs. PM me if you want the info. By ...

I picked up two original rims from Dennis at Linden Engineering in Golden a few years ago and it looked like he had more.

Nicely done!

I like the original look too, but think this was tastefully done. Nice.

Did it come on quickly or slowly over time? If it occurred slowly over time and Starter/Choke helps, then I would think of starting with the carbs. edit- I almost forgot my favorite instant tune-up- clean the spark plugs, re-gap them, re-install, and see if that fixes it. My #3 plug fouls pretty qui...

I found this one on ebay with a search for 'square oil catch can' or breather box. There are hundreds of variations. The quality is OK. I had to do a little touch up with a file at the fittings and buy better hoses. I decided to mount this one low, but you might want to look at installing an Empi VW...

Here's the catch can I installed in the line between oil filler and air intake hood. There hasn't been much accumulation in it until I checked it yesterday and it was 2/3 full of a fuel/water/sludge mixture. I'm pretty sure this is the same sludge that occurs by condensation within the crankcase. Si...

I've installed one, but haven't driven it enough to really notice any difference or have to empty accumulation from the can yet. I was hoping it would reduce the oil in the intake manifold. I need to do some work on the Pinz this weekend and will let you know what I find and take some photos.

FWIW- A friend had Mattracks on his Pinz here and we messed around with them a few years ago. The turning radius is REALLY big with them and we got stuck more than a few times on trails we'd driven a few months earlier. Power steering would have helped. Also, watch the cross slopes. Going straight u...

I've had my Maxxis Bighorns for quite a few years now and I've liked them. Plenty of traction when new, but are definitely worn now. The price is usually good on them.

I finally took a few pictures of the ones I have...

Hmmm, that's a new lamp to me. I have two different, original Swiss lamps. One is small with an integrated clamp and the other is larger shaped like a slightly smaller headlight bulb. I'll get pics tomorrow.

Yes, that's ultimately how to confirm it.

I used that same method. The hardest part is that SSI doesn't have a rotor per se and lining up a precise 180 degree timing mark is tricky. I had to eyeball across the case seam.
