Re: Best Axle Boot???

I'm surprised Dale at Haflinger Tecknik didn't respond. He's pretty fast on the email sketch. I've never been stumped for spares from him yet. Majority of things thud onto the doormat within 24hrs. I had a dizzy cap break last winter. Needed a replacement ASAP. Spoke to Dale on the Tellingbone. One ...

Re: NORTH WALES TRIP

Nice looking vehicles! Be careful Mr Plod doesn't pull you over with that number plate. (M730 UTF) Should be BS.AU.145 (reflective) for that age vehicle surely ? How do you MOT it?

M295 AUJ as well! Am I missing something here ?? :o

Re: Tapping the stock jerry can to provide fuel to my heater

Hopefully, here are a couple of photos of my heater fuel tank. The pics show it fitted to my previous Pinz. This was a civvy version, so the jerry can holder is slightly different. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g358/shoebeam/DSCN0348.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g358/shoebeam/DSCN03...

Re: Tapping the stock jerry can to provide fuel to my heater

There is a "Makita" generator - and probably other makes too, that use a very shallow fuel tank. I have got one fitted directly under the Jerry can holder. They have a wide external flange with handy mounting holes already drilled. Using 1" wide flat bar bent into holding brackets, it...

Re: Tough to turn

You could always try having a bigger breakfast before you go out! :lol:

After years of shoe-horning the Pinz in and out of tight parking places, I've now got biceps like Popeye!

Yes, tyre pressures and steering box levels are the obvious targets.

Re: Huge cloud of bluish white smoke, what happened?

I've got to go along with what Pinzmeister says. I've had this happen a couple of times. Quite spectacular when you glance in the mirror!. Yes, take that pipe off and give it a worrying with an airline - making sure the propelled gunge goes somewhere harmless. An alternative is what I now always car...

Re: what are the best tires

Maybe that is a "European" thing (pause to aim one at the spitoon!). The remoulds I have seen in the UK appear to be a complete tyre covering ie. the sidewalls are "new" with REMOULD marked on along with tyre size etc. Have used remoulds in the past on other cars with no problems...

Re: Electrical glitch question.

If ALL electrical power is lost, it could well be the Master Switch behind the driver's seat. Check for corrosion on the connections. I've two that I've had problems with. Fairly easy to open the unit up, clean contacts etc and reassemble. When re-installing make sure all is clean and bright and sla...
