THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Just wanted to say thanks for the update - I have been wondering what's been happening with this project.

The build quality looks good - keep it up!

My only concern with a bmw engine is the depth of the oil sump - it might hang down to much.

I've seen photos of a haffy with a moto guzzi engine that looked like a great fit - it even had 4 wheel steering.

If you are only going to use it for smaller loads (such as a radio) that draws only an amp or two at 12vdc, you can probably just disconnect the fan and it will work OK. You might try it with the case open first and feel the heatsink - if you can't keep your hand on it then its too hot. A bigger hea...

Not the best choice of locks - a locksmith buddy of mine mentioned that they have a problem - check out this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StRIrx2NBZE&feature=related from youtube "master trailer coupler bypass" if the link doesn't work. He recommended the round puck style lo...

I w...

Checking the level is a pretty quick project - you should do it before any more driving.

That doesn't look good... most certainly the problem. Surprised it happened with the material of that part of the carb.

So what is the ignition system you are using? Sounds pretty sweet.

Where did you get those side LED lights from? They loiok interesting for some projects I am doing. Let me know if you can...

PM sent.

The electrical connector will fit both the standard (A base?) and the H4 bulbs - but the stock bulb holder only works with the old bulbs. I've seen people try and make it work but its not worth it - just get a new set. Be sure the new ones have the side bulb hole for the "city" lights if y...
