Re: Sluggish braking

Your issues are also symptomatic of the rubber brake hoses de-laminating on the inside not allowing fluid through and causing brake pressures to increase without much braking effort.

Re: My latest project - Disc Brakes for a 710/712

Can you knock up some disk brakes for the front of my haflinger? After your great effort here, the haflinger should Easy Peazy.

Re: My latest project - Disc Brakes for a 710/712

Brake disk - brake rotor are the same thing and the term can be used interchangably. The term rotor comes the fact that it rotates with the wheel.

Re: Fuel types

If it needs 97 RON then compression ratio must be up around 10:1 which seems off for a mil vehicle which are usually designed to run on any crappy old fuel out in the field. I do not know Volvo engines at all and googling doesnt give me an answer - does the B30 have aluminium heads or cast iron head...

Re: Fuel types

Lead additives are not legal here so I use FlashLube upper cylinder lubricant which has the same result without the lead.

I agree with the others - hi octane fuel is a waste unless the engine is modified with high compression.

Re: My latest project - Disc Brakes for a 710/712

Thats odd as I have Mach 5 rims have normal rims not those round rims. But while the company that made the rims are still in business - I believe in another form, I had heard that they no longer make the Mach 5 rims though Landrover parts sellers like Paddocks in the UK are still selling them (and g...

Additionally, an interesting point is that "technically" all widened rims used if a Haflinger was fitted with the optional Diamond Tread Tyres by Haflinger Sales and Service, are illegal.....as they are banded. :evil: :oops: :cry: Yes but technically done by the manufacturer so is legal -...

Re: My latest project - Disc Brakes for a 710/712

Yes full engineering of the brakes are technically required but a professional job like you have done would not be questioned and most authorities would just not know what a Pinz is and what they came with. Spacers are a different matter but we can legally change track by up to 50mm (some States onl...

Re: My latest project - Disc Brakes for a 710/712

I take it that wheel adaptors/spacer are legal in the US - unfortunately in Aust they are completely illegal except if a OEM fitment. Get caught with them here and your vehicle has to be towed home.

Ebay has them listed at the moment. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tire-Maloya-165 ... zB&vxp=mtr

Austrian parts suppliers may have them as well.

Re: Pinz and Others - Mount Airly - Blue Mountains Aust

I just watched these vids a few days ago...and again yesterday, that was some pretty impressive off-roading but that track was pretty hard on those two Pinzgauers. I wouldn't want my diff casing dropping onto the rocks like that and if I did I would have been straight out to check it. What baffled ...

Pinz and Others - Mount Airly - Blue Mountains Aust

I thought I would draw you Pinz guys to these great vids from just north of where I live in Aust. Pinz 6x6 action with some Landies and a poor Zook.

Re: Clutch howl after getting wet?

As John mentioned the hole is there to allow any oil that gets past the seals from either the gearbox/diff or engine to drain away and not soil the clutch. Normal road vehicles may not have a plug to go in there but most proper 4wd vehicles do (dont know about a Pinz). Certainly my 101 and series la...
