Thanks Garry. Yes, this Haflinger in question is ex military. Swiss to be specific. I know it did not come with this light or the switch when new, but thought it was a neat add on. I already have the front light as it was equipped with this from new. It has a one position switch that turns on the fr...

I finally found something. TDC had a small image of a very early MKI that has the different tail lights. So, it seems this is a completely separate light not to be used in conjunction with normal operation. So now, the question is, what is the light switch/ign switch like?

So, I recently got a Notek light for one of my Haffies. I initially thought it took place of the tail light on the drivers side. However, looking at the wiring schematic, it seems there is more to this. There is a special switch for the ignition that is different than mine (same as pinz?) and it sho...

I have been using the same battery that I use in my ride on lawnmower. Its much better suited than say a group 42. My petrol heater fires right up with the smaller battery. No issues with starting whatsoever.

Yeah, well the more complete one is already running and driving, but still need to get the brakes going. the less complete one i suspect only has about 5k miles on it from original. kind of neat they are RHD. Not common over here.

I bought two more haffies. ugh. Dale is familiar with them. hoping to have one less dangerous to operate by NWMF in a couple of weeks..

coming in late here, but they are the same as fitted on my 1967 VW Kombi, if that helps.

thanks Garry. I should use a GPS to check. I also just bought two RHD haffies today. Since we are kind of on the subject of performance, one of the engines has Redrak Engineering all over it and it definitely has an upgraded pressure plate on the clutch. Anyone ever heard of this?

Thanks Garry for that real world info. So, im going to ask the lazy question because I dont want to dig too much right now. What is the final drive ration on the gearbox and the tallest hubs? I dont recall. I have had my speedo waaay past the 80kmh marker. Practically down to the 6 oclock position. ...

Ja, for sure. As mentioned, I do cars for a living and lots of my work is modification including adding power with things like turbos and such. the turbo I picked up is sized for a 600cc engine, so that should suffice. I do have the taller ratio hubs (the tallest of the three). This would also allow...

Ja, the turbo really would only be good for acceleration and maintaining speed.

good ot know on the solex.

yup, if I put one on, it will all be well documented for sure.

yup, for sure. I work on cars for a living, so I get the logic here. three different carbs? I know of the weber and the zenith, but the other? The choke cable operation for the 703 engine that I put in does require drilling to route it. So bodywork is different there. Also, its different for the sho...

Yeah, im really happy with the improvements all from such a simple repair. I was thinking the oil consumption was probably more likely to excessive negative crankcase pressure since the engine couldnt get enough air through the air cleaner, it was trying to get it from the breather connection as wel...

So, just a follow up here. Had an incident where power kept getting lower and lower until it basically was running so rich that it couldnt get out of its own way. After some quick troubleshooting, I determined the air cleaner had decided to be an air stopper. This air cleaner had been in it since I ...

Yes, I think you are correct. the parts I have basically drive a large pulley. Now to find something to do with it, haha!

Hi everyone, so I have a PTO in my haffie. Ive not connected anything to it. But I do have a driveshaft. Im curious if anyone happens to know the the splined fitting for the driveshaft is any DIN standard? I mean, if I was to get something to attach to it, what would I look for? Thanks!

I used VW Beetle as my application for Bilstein shocks. I am very happy with them.

Ja, I hear you there. I have heard of cranks breaking, but not specifically Hafi cranks. I think it did its job. Hes a pretty smart kid and I think the main reason it was on it was because he wanted to go faster. We have 5 acres to play on, so plenty of room the practice and offroad. A course would ...

Thanks John, thats a good point. Do oil pump teeth break on these commonly?
