Pinzgauer Travel Spare Parts
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2022 2:55 pm
Hello all,
So I've got my 76 Swiss 710k in February of this year. Scheduled time with Andre during his spring east coast tour to give it a look over. Learned so much (thanks Andre) and realize restoring & keeping these amazing vehicles in good running condition takes time, a bit of investment & the help of a great community like this. Up to now I've been doing the basic adjustments & fluid changes. Converted over to Rick's SSI system. So glad I did. Thanks to all of you for the help & advice. Also very excited to get a solid Warn winch from Vince's winches!!! There is much more ahead as I've just scratch the surface of the "to do's" with my Pinz. Like changing a rear differential seal. Yep, got the dreaded leak after a 1000k mile trip in August. Maybe a winter project.
As I get to know my Pinz more I've been venturing out further with it. When I do I take the basic spares like fan belt, fuel line, fluids, bulbs etc. My question to all of you experienced drivers out there is what trip spares do you carry in your vehicles? I'm going to order a spare fuel pump, carb solenoids & sounds like floats would be a good idea from what I've read. I've luckily had recoverable breakdowns to date but feel I need to be better prepared. Would really like to know what travel spares you recommend. As always your help is most appreciated!
Best Wishes,
BobV
