Disaster narrowly averted ...
Armed with a new battery I started the Haflinger in order to warm up the oil prior to replacing the oil filter & putting in some fresh oil. Started well, and I ran it at medium revs for perhaps 4-5 minutes. I was in the cab throughout in case it stalled. After a while I thought that I would just...

Re: elastic straps
I don't have access to my 1972 civilian LWB canvas at the moment, but some photos I have shows that the loops at the bottom of the rear flap are individual (ie not one long length) - first two photos - and from the outside of the side panels (third photo) the loops look sufficiently regular that I w...

Not enough puff from the Dynastarter
My brother, who is currently looking after our father's Haflinger is saying that the Dynastater is not performing as well as it could / should. It turns when no load - eg without fan belts fitted- but doesn’t have the umph to turn over engine with belts fitted The symptoms are those of a flat batter...

Re: Sloppy gear change
I _think_ you need to play with the three(?) tiny grub screws on the side of the gearbox "turret" jut in front of the NSR wheel. But check with others & the manual before making any changes ...

Re: What is this switch
The "original" wiper switch was a much smaller white toggle - pull to turn on, push to turn off. Not sure what this one is for.

Re: Body colours
Hi, I don't think Haflingers were ever painted grey - I don't recall seeing any in what I might call Fergie grey.
Most are beige (/stone?), green, red, blue (Royal Navy), and variations of olive (drab).

Re: Hemi the Haff.
My UK spec LWB was made in July 1972 and has two fuse boxes. The dash is original.
Looking back through some old emails, I _think_ that dashboards were body coloured until ~1968, and from ~1969 they were black (in non-polycab versions anyway).

Re: Two year project.
Its been nearly two years since this Haflinger came from the depths of South Wales. It started it's hard life in Scotland in 1967. By all accounts , used off road and unregistered most of its life. Well done! My 1962 SWB came from the depths of South Wales too (Richard Walsh), and before that it wa...

The latest Parts Book I have is dated 5-1969, and on page 2-05/0 that flat pad is not shown (nor any associated electrical bits). Sorry I can't help!

Re: Wing Mirrows.
Not cheap, but Haflinger Tecknic were selling "original style but repro" stainless steel arms a while ago. I like mine, but IIRC the centring spring (or the centring detent) wasn't quite as strong as it needed to be.
Re: tool roll
I have the jack as shown in the line drawing; the top flange is shaped / curved to marry up with the underside of the drive shaft.
