Hi Nathan -

I am more than happy to post items to South Africa - bar the cab itself ! - were there any specific individual items you require ?

Best wishes
Paul

Located Near Bakewell, UK Good Morning All - Following the disposal of most of my Haf project, I have remaining a polycab. It consists of (only): CAB - I had previously cut out the lower tube frame and had it blasted/powder coated. This is now re - installed. DOORS (bear) GLASS (All) - with some rub...

Good morning Matteo -

I am in the UK & may have what you need including an early 700 platform (with no side access panels for the engine) in solid restorable condition.
Please send me a PM if you would like to contact me.

Thanks
Paul

I have a polycab available here . . . . but in Derbyshire, I'll drop you a PM
Cheers
Paul

I get your point there John. I have a full set of 155 x 13 mud & snow tyres on Fiat rims for mine ! When I received the 135's I thought they were great as they maintained the "skinny stance" and wouldn't project beyond the body sides. Trying to abbreviate garage stuff at the moment ! B...

. . . . Bump !
Anybody interested in these at all ?!
I reckon they'd be great as road tyres on a Haf . . .
Cheers
Paul

As above, an unused pair of Vredestein Snowstar S80 tyres : 135 x 13.
Unfortunately I only have two, but they'd be great on a Haf for winter hooning . . .
Price ? : £40 incl. UK postage
Drop me a message if interested -
Cheers
Paul

Ahem - apologies from Bakewell, UK. Where the puddings are made . . . . Thanks for the replies so far - If I were to sell I'd rather someone who is genuinely interested having a crack at it. I'll have to have a good look at everything I do have to see what may be missing for a complete car. I still ...

. . . . up 'north, near Bakewell . . .

Good morning chaps - I'm considering selling my Haflinger "et al" and welcome suggestions as to perhaps the best course of action ? I bought it as a buggy a few years ago - a Mk1 SWB 4 speed. I got it running, which it did very well and then decided to try to get it back to original. I obt...

Hi all - My platform may be going away soon for repair at a fabrication company. It has had some repairs in the past prior to me buying it including new side sections from the rear to the (rear of the) front seat section. Whilst these has been fitted satisfactorily, others repairs are not brilliant ...

I too have tried the brush, Gunk and elbow grease method
It never gets the finish I'd like, though ?
I've wondered recently about the potential merits of a small domestic steam cleaner - what are people's thoughts on that ?

Paul

Hello - This is where mine is up to at the moment . . . I had a lot of play in the pins, so I have decided to install new ones. Just to re-iterate Constantin's comments above, go easy when knocking off the side cover. A little at a time using a hardwood block worked for me with no damage. I was surp...

Thanks, Julian - v.useful !

Paul

Thanks, Chaps - all interesting replies !

I like the idea of the canvass style straps - perhaps more in keeping than the Mad Max bike chain !

As I said, mine has nothing to start with . .

Cheers

Paul

Hi all - As per the title - anybody have any suggestions for alternatives to the standard braided check straps ? My project has nothing at the moment, so I'm curious to see what other people have ? Perhaps a "fabric" ?, or "wire rope" ? or chain even . . . Pic would be great ! Th...

Crikey ! - Thanks Jim, plenty to go at there . . .
I'm starting from "scratch" with my 700 body. I have a good platform and have acquired a battery box in poor condition for repair. I guess I'll have to see if the two marry up.

Thanks again -

Paul

Hello -

Are all battery boxes the same, or were there different types between S1 & S2 or SWB & LWB ? I suspect not, but just asking !

Paul

Hi Garry - It must have been on a rare occasion I was paying attention ! The programme was very interesting and as I remember focussed on the Army Bomb Disposal. I'll have to watch it all again for details, but maybe the Royal Ordnance Corps were involved ? Also, it's interesting as Constantin sugge...

Hello all - Just to add another dimension to this thread, the BBC last year showed a documentary about bomb disposal in the 70's and 80's by the British Army (sadly predominantly in Northern Ireland). In some of the footage/images shown, a Hafi can be seen in the background . . . Not sure who was re...
