Thanks for those comments - I have the hub apart now and when I have put the king pins in their bushes they are quite loose - certainly much worse than they appeared when installed on the car - so as I do not want to do this again I will raid the piggy bank and get the full set. Speedy sleeve is on ...

I have to say, the brake bearing pins did not seem to be lose when I took things apart and the others are all in place still. SO now I wait again for bits. John I bought a speedy sleeve today and will fit it tomorrow - expensive little suckers. Also got a price on a swivel pin kit - £270 for both s...

My Haffie also has a rifle mount on the passenger side - on odd option for a "normal" civilian Haffie but maybe not so odd if the vehicle was sold to a farming property.

Cheers

Thanks John - once I could find the right bolt the pin came straight out using the curved end of a crow bar using that top ball in the hub casting as a fulcrum point. I assume this grove is not supposed to be there and is where the oil seal in the swing arm has worn a groove - speedi-sleeve is neede...

Unfortunately there are two current posts that got through the net

The rust holes will be easy to weld up - just annoying. I haven't pulled off the linkages to the front diff lock off yet - a question for the wise ones - is the diff lock held in the engaged position from within the diff or by the lever in the cab (if the later will save pulling the diff out). Anoth...

Hi John - I seem to be following you with things to do. The rear seat frames came with my Haffie but like you no actual seats on the frames. Looks like we have all the information we will need thanks to Slantback .

HaflingerTechnick have Sachs shockies for about 40% of the Monro/Koni price. Anyone used these and if so how have you found them. Clearly will not be as good as Konis but may very well be up to the task.

Ok work started - I have the same basic issues so if it is OK I would like to post here. I have read up on the 1962 service book and the parts manual. My hub seems to be leaking somewhere from the bottom of the hub so maybe a damaged gasket rather than the oil seal on the input shaft at the top. I h...

Thanks Rick - great information - I will the getting the data sheet. I am surprised that compliance plates were not fitted to all Aust made Haffies from 1972 but clearly they were not. It would be great if the Aussie records, if they still exist could be located. Cheers Garry PS Just checked the eng...

Thanks Constanin - it was your website that prompted my question? I assume that my Haflinger was assembled in Melbourne but I would like to know for sure. It does not have an Australian Compliance Plate that would have been required at the time so there is also a chance it may have been made elsewhe...

Thanks - yes the Aust price is very good on the Konis.

I take it then that there is no central depositry of records and where varios vehicles were made - is there a "Registrar" as yet.

Cheers

I have put this up on the Yahoo site but it may as well go here as well. ;) My shock absorbers are cactus and I need for new ones Stuart over on the Yahoo site suggested these may fit Boge27-453-1, 1 54 023 2; Armstrong 63A-0210 (Triumph GT6); or Monroe 104S but I could find a listing in our local b...

Mine does move in and out so something has come adrift inside the diff.

Thanks John - I have those parts so will probably start tomorrow if it is not too hot. Everything seems tight. Yesterday I went to move my Haffie from the backyard to the front where I will do the work and it would not drive over a 1' high wall so engaged the difflocks but the front one just flopped...

Just about to start pulling my drivers hub apart - it leaks badly on the inside of the hub and not into the brakes so I take it that the oil seal on the axle at the top of the portal is leaking.

Looking forward to the fun fun fun

My Haflinger has one of these fitted http://www.123ignition.com.au/images/do ... manual.pdf (there is an english section). Has 16 selectable pre programmed advanced curves and spark is provided by a coil pack rather than a traditional coil.

Seems to work very well.

Can I suggest that new users are moderated for either one or two posts? There are some seriously unwanted photos just posted on this site. So you don't like my Landrover and Jaguar pics posted on my introduction post :shock: I promise never to post pics of Landies up again unless asked too. :D When...

Thanks Steve - that is great information. Australian Design Rules (ADRs) came into place in Aust for new vehicles in about 1971 and I believe with this 2 speed windscreen wipers, windscreen washers and seat belts became mandatory for all new vehicles (mine a 73). However "commercial" vehic...
