Re: New member with old 712M

Hi Dan, Here are some pics of the vent I found on the computer. I will be able to take some measurements on the weekend. Note the internal shot shows the spring is missing on the RHS. Don't have a view of the internal LHS which does have the spring in place. Hope these will help somewhat. Cheers, Mick

Re: New member with old 712M

Funnily enough the fold down side is riveted up. So they ordered it, lost 2 seats and then decided they didn't like it.

Can post some more pics of the vent, think Prof Pinz said it was called a tropical vent in another thread. There was a thread somewhere about a LR product that would fit.

Re: New member with old 712M

Thanks for the tip 4x4Pinz. :wink:

I have already read the PinziSSI thread, and if I can't source parts locally for the 'dealer' then I was going to buy the SSI kit.

Re: Stamped numbers

A guess coming from another thread I saw, but maybe in the 18th week of 1989 your Pinz got a new/refurbished body installed.

Thanks Steven.

Re: Drive with one 712 wheel off the ground?

I realise I am bumping a very old thread. :shock: But if you really wanted to do this you could jack up one axle, and replace the standard 18" limit strap with a 'spare' 16" limit strap that you have bought just for this purpose. Still I would prefer to drive with one flat and destroy a re...
