716 Chassis Picture

I wondered if anyone had an image of a 716 chassis (like the 712 and 718 that are often shown in the factory brochures etc).......but it must be a 716. I need such a picture to clarify some engineering details (disk brakes, modular design aspects etc) and problems I'm having with the Engineering/Reg...

Will this do mate?
There are a number of wiring options for the TD's but this is the one I used.

Re: Leaf Springs for 718 Ambulance

I can't tell you if the "individual leaves" of the 712 spring assembly are the same as a 718, but I do know the 718 has 4 leaves per assembly and the 712 has 3.

Re: 718 or 712

Easy, have one of each! :D In actual fact thats a difficult question to answer.....I'm sure you'll get lots of various answers, but my personal take on it is boils down to this: The 718 is better as a long distance tourer.....quieter, better fuel economy, braking, steering etc, and the auto trans is...

Re: Atik G wheels

The Hutchinson Wheels are my all time favourites (Canadian G) but at 876 euro each (I have seen them available a little cheaper from a few specialist suppliers) I think I'II be waiting for a Tattslotto win before I buy any. http://www.puch.at/en/spare-parts/accessories/hutchinson-beadlock-wheels/480...

Re: Interesting 718

Call me a "stick in the mud", but I still personally think you can't beat this body form/shape/style etc for a TD :D

Re: seized locker arm

Just be careful with heat as you've got the Plastic bushes/spacers between the lever units.
I'd be surprised if soaking and a little bit of mechanical persuasion doesn't get the job done.
Good luck!

Re: seized locker arm

Hmmm, after reading it a number of times, I now guess you are talking about the levers inside the cabin, rather than the forks/arms inside the Bearing Housing assembly behind the front diff. Sorry for the confusion, you had me tossed when you were taking about "arms"! :D I'd pull the shaft...

Re: seized locker arm

The front locker is seized to the horizontal bar that all of the locker arms rotate on
I'm a little lost.....Do you mean the vertical bar that the cast alloy selector fork pivots on?
