Cool Pinz Inclinometer

Post by berger »

Just saw this on ebay.de. Looks like it is custom made for the 710M, and he seems willing to make them for the 710K and Haffy.....maybe a 712 too.

Tranlation:
Hello!

You are bidding on 1pc inclinometer for the Steyr Puch Pinzgauer 710M! This inclinometer WITHOUT lighting!

On request, we can also make a pure 710K. If it also emanates, maybe even a 712er. Haflinger of course I can rhyme too faces.

A little gimmick for the terrain.

been running the "jeep" one in my truck for many years. Always wanted to replace the image with one of "my" 712 but just never got around to it. The only thing these are good for is making sure you are relatively level when parking, which is very handy if you sleep in your truck.

I saw that and thought 2 things
1. Interesting how he used the SDP logo's in the background - makes it look more 'official'
2. That does say JEEP under it correct? Shame!

I had one designed for Android based smartphones for Mogs perhaps we could do one for Pinz?

Yes I know the pinz is not setting level, an I really need to change the pics but it has been that way since '05 but I wanted to show how important having the light is.

Jeep could easly be removed. I really like that style. I run a cheap SAV stick on type. Workes well but does not match the style of our trucks. That think on the other hand really looks like it belongs in our trucks.

So...
Take apart and remove JEEP
Buy parts, drill hole and add a light
While apart may as well re do the scale so it actually goes to 45%
Looks like a deal :mrgreen:

or just get this one and insert picture of your truck in the correct places and be done. Only goes to 35 but if you are watching past that you are probably on your side :lol:

Is this not what we like to do anyway?
I would not buy one overseas with the pictures already installed, just find one local and do the mods.

Funny as that is exactly what I thought as I was posting it:)

SAV sells one that looks like a curved glass with a bubble in it. I have one. If the truck is leaning over I am going to be concerned about my
driving out of the dilemma and not looking at that bubble. I had that one in the Mog and moved it to the pinz when I sold it. Rarely look at it.

When in a tricky situation it is nice to have confirmation that you still have a few degrees left. I took the wife out to the dunes it the truck and at one point were at 25 deg to her side on my SAV meter. Honestly it felt like 45. It made me feel better but not the wife...

SAV needs to start selling the lighted version of the curved glass unit. All the inclinometers are good for is making the passengers comfortable. I used to tell them to watch the gauge and if it hit 40 let me know. Most would be screaming and holding on for dear life around 30.
