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

Fooling around today with a rattle can paint job while waiting for more parts to arrive.

Here are some of my wiring notes that might help you. Also I've attached a .PDF of the color wiring schematic I've used on my K.
Also, I modified the original taillights to be US standard and support dual-filament bulbs.
I found these https://a.co/d/0ai9mbex to make excellent back-up lights. No ...

However, I do have a K schematic (Funkkommandowager) I can email you
if your interested.

I have a black-and-white 710K schematic from the forum. But thank you for the offer.

Ha Ha, good call. And yes, he is magnetic.

Still sorting out the tail light wiring. The color schematic I have is for a 710M, not a K. Most of the colors are different. But I have my trusty volt meter.
And I don't seem to have a junction box as depicted in several photos online.
There is a constant "on" black wire in the right rear wire ...

Still lots to do while waiting for brake parts to arrive.
Today, I installed and wired the headlights and got started trying to sort out the taillights.

Outstanding, thank you very much.

Thank you. I have some on order in case the originals can't be sourced.
I would still like to find some of the military plugs to keep the sealed plugs.

I found this 24V breaker power box in my parts. Looks pretty handy, but I can't find any plugs online. EI and Swiss army vehicles don't have them listed. Does anyone have an idea where to look? Possibly aftermarket?

Thank you, Great advice.
I have learned a tremendous amount over the last week or so on the forum.
It's a terrific wealth of info.

Thanks for the info guys. I was afraid of spinning rivnuts. They are in the open, so easy to cut or drill the bolts out. Any idea what size they are for replacements?

I plan to use it as a SW desert exploring/touring machine. It does drive and doesn't make any expensive noise. The brakes and lockers need rebuilding. Lots to do, just putting it all together so far. We will see what happens as I continue with the project. I have been pretty heavy into old Land ...

I couldn't resist taking the time to mount my hood ornament using the factory holes.

Todays update.
The pinz adventure continues. Fuel tank and electric fuel pump mounted/plumbed. next up is wiring up a 24/12V power supply and fuse block to power the 12V pump and any 12V accessories.

I finally took the time to start playing with my 710k Pinzgauer. I’ve had it for Over 10 years now, got it as a basket case in Alaska. Moved it to Arizona 5 years ago and it’s been siting out back waiting for its turn under the wrench.
