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

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 ...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’ve planted Vault Boy exactly where your future GPS speedo antenna puck is going to live. Really hoping he’s on a mag mount… otherwise he’ll have to get evicted. :wink:


Yes, this is exactly where your Garmin Overlander goes. :) My mount is secured ...

Last I heard was Feb 20th from his wife and he was still in ICU. No word since then.
"He is doing better, he has shown good improvement but is still not his self yet"

What's your plan? Restore to original condition? Ultimate off-roader? Rugged cross-country touring machine?

Is it driveable at all? If it is, I'd contemplate removing the body before you get too deep into it to address any drivetrain/suspension issues.

If you just want the bolts out, sometimes I've had success using a pair of vise-grips on the bolt and pulling up while turning CCW. It's hit or miss on success.

Thanks! That's fabulous real-world information on practical experience with the factory wheel setup!

We all know de-beading is a risk, but it's hard to quantify how hard one has to push it to make that happen. And then I always remember that Pinz rims are how all US rims used to be before the ...

Hey, MrZero, have you leaned hard sideways on a tire at that 17/19PSI? Especially on the factory rims without the ridge for the bead, I worry about breaking the bead (insta-flat) with strong side-loading. Or maybe a Pinz is just too scary to get much sidewall force on the tires?

I don't go below 20PSI on any of my trucks. I don't think I've gone below 25PSI on the Pinz because, well, Chicken. And I don't push the Pinz off-road -- I have other vehicles for that.

Could be normal condensation when the carb temp gets below the dewpoint. Does it do it when the engine is hot, or only when it's cold?

I'm with Ron on this: Replace all the fluids and bleed the clutch circuit. Do that first and see what that gets you.

If you need to look at the clutch, fear not as it's a pretty easy job. But I'd check the other components first. If it's dragging, I'd predict the issues are not in the clutch itself ...

@rmel, do you have a picture of the failure?

I'm sure you did, but you can you confirm you installed them clocked correctly?

JimmyC, what's your goal? Are you trying to fix what you have, or move to something new?

If your goal is to keep things stock, but get rid of points in favor of electronic ignition, that's what the Pertronix (note the 'r') kit is all about.

If you want to get the smoothest running engine and get ...

Did you look at the repair manual on the parking brake adjustments?

Or the Operators Manual p160?

Pertronix DOES offer two 24V models: https://pertronixbrands.com/collections ... voltage/24 , but neither of these are for the Pinz. You need to get a Pinz version from SAV.

This is what I ordered last time: https://swissarmyvehicles.com/pinzgauer ... -pinzgauer
