Re: Dodge truck with a house inside it.

Been there a few times,

He also has a massive Landrover, not sure of the scale but also huge.

He has a private museum which he generously lets the public into for free.

So many random cars but one of my favourites is a Lambo LM002. 8)

Re: Pinz Voltmeter

They say imitation is the finest form of flattery. So I bought some piece from MPJA and made a little boxed voltmeter : https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlp1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/12063397_10153989558842289_6635096200528726573_n.jpg?oh=686feebe243fed49309d48d765ce6db8&oe=56975FDF The swi...

Re: Austrian Door Uppers

Interesting thread.

Hey Hotzenplotz, my Oman delivered Pinz has the same headlight guards and half/half windscreen but not the latch near the grill you showed.

Re: Float level adjustment?

I'm with JimmyC, not had much experience on Pinz carbs but I have seen motorbikes with a crack in the float, so it doesn't float as much as it should.

Either that or the metal tab is bent our of shape.

Bremach T-Rex Overlander build up blog

This guy Oliver Reinhard has a very detailed build up blog of a Bremach T-Rex. He then imported it to Australia and toured around. The section on importing via Carnet made my head spin - lots of paper work! Concept and overall details here : https://sites.google.com/site/oliverreinhard/expeditionsmo...

Re: 712 FAL

Interesting.

Maybe a remote fish and chip van :mrgreen:

My Oman spec came with a similar folding side, but only 2 seats worth at the front drivers side.

Re: molex connector and dielectric grease

Thanks for the tip. I have a LED voltage display from Marlin P Jones. Thats how I know what my batteries are reading at all times and especially while the vehicle is operating. They are not expensive and worth the trouble to install for up to date info. I just have one for the 24V system but as you...

Re: Starter Button - Inside Look

Mine came without a starter button, so I just bought one at the local truck supply shop for about $15. Final note: If in a situation where you need to use a 2 pole intermittent switch, leave the (b) wire disconnected and taped off. Your truck will still run and may be a little harder to start up, b...

Re: Starter Button - Inside Look

Thanks to the replies above, I will need to recheck everything now. When I got my Pinz the starter and ignition and quite a few of the other electrical components were all missing. It worked out what most wires seemed to do with a multimeter, wiring diagram and some trial and error. Now I can't reme...

Re: Engine tin powder coated

Looks great! Job well done.

Was your fuel pump worn out or did you just want an electric one?

Edit : Just found your fuel pump thread. Thanks for sharing the details.

Re: No Flashers & Brake Lights...

Just going to jump on this thread because I have a similar issue and want to find later.

Not ready to tackle this problem yet, working on other stuff (slowly).
