Hey Dave, Maybe you should be looking for the info that you want within the Army system.The Army have a museum of some sort at Bandianna which I think is a Corp of Transport or maybe a Corp of Engineers museum. There is a Haffie and a trailer on display there and they are only to happy to chat with ...

Hey John, Very interesting read on Wikipedia. I haven't given my Hafffie a name as yet, as it is such a bastard of a thing to work on that like all bastards it can be a bit of a problem as to which name to use. I am with you, but not only Lurch, ALL Haffies should be bowed and scraped to. When ever ...

Hey John,
A question that is on my mind each and every time I read one of your posts is,who is/was Lady Sutherland and who are/were her sons. Were they a family or a business,or both who owned Lurch.
Regards Rick.

Hey Gary, Thanks for the reply which explains it all. I have got other items from Dale on a number of occasions, plus lots of motor cycle bits from all over the world and have never paid either customs duties or GST,,,, because they have never been purchases over $1000. This purchase I am asking abo...

Hey All, I am in the process of bringing in from Scotland a heap of body panels for my Haflinger, to start heading towards finishing off this rather long restoration of mine. Have just received a phone call stating that I owe TNT Customs in Sydney around $600 to get these bits into the country. Has ...

Hey Sam,
Nice looking couple of vehicles and a shame to get rid of them, I am nearly at the stage on my rebuild that I need to start either building or buying a trailer for mine to tow behind the motor home, so I may be interested in yours when you put it up with a price and some photos.
Regards Rick.

Hey Czechsix, I had the same problem with the thing splitting and I just had about dozen little rubber rings and I looked every where for something that was useable that is fitted to motorcycles or aircraft and could find nothing suitable. I ended up getting some decent heavy duty material that is u...

Hey jimf6, "Well done that man". It looks to be a great result and a credit to you. I really like the colour, especially in the full gloss. I am used to that colour in the flat finish from some years in the Army but I much prefer the gloss. I keep saying that I am about half way through th...

Hey Tephensay, Welcome to the club. $1650 sounds like a good deal to me but a cheaper price maybe even better. It just cost me $500 to send a motor cycle from the Sunshine Coast to Melbourne in a truck with 18 other bikes in it. Jamming it in the back of a van is a good way as long as you can get ou...

Hey Gary, If you have fitted that rod and it is quite an amount different in length, like you say an inch or so, hasn't that then created a much smaller steering lock on one side or the other? I would have thought that an inch or so would have been to much difference in the lengths of the rods. Rega...

Hey Danny, I am unable to get there in time. The intention was to be in the area of the park today sometime but our timing is out the window and we are still at Stringy Bark Creek, having a look at where Mr. Kelly and his friends killed the 3 policemen who were planning some punishment of their own....

Hey Danny, I will be right for that date. We are at a bike rally in Clare SA before that date so a detour is being planned and we will see you on the way home. Rick K mentioned that anyone who is interested in Haffies should attend, and if that's the case you might have to hire the SCG as every one ...

Hey Danny, We will probably be on our way home to the Land of Bananas from Victoria at or around that time so a slight detour to the East is not a concern for us. We wouldn't know until some days prior if we could get there but all things being nearly equal you can count me in. I have just been remi...

Hey All, I followed this conversation while you were having it, but never had a clue what you were on about. That all changed the other day when I decided to replace a front hub seal. Worked out how it all came apart as I was doing it, replaced the seal and then tried and tried and tried to get that...

Hey Rick, I scan your list about twice a day checking what more you have for sale, and have got a second order of bits in the pipe line there somewhere. I only need a couple of small items now, about 4 wheel nuts and a complete platform should do it. You must have had a huge supply of bits to have c...

Hey Rick,
What a top job, you are to be congratulated. I thought that mine was a complete wreck and found it all a bit daunting as to where I should actually start, but mine was nothing compared to what you bought home. Well done. I am leaning towards your colour for mine as well.
Regards Rick.

Hey Danny, I have got a set of Lancia 14 inch rims for mine and will sort out some tyres this week. What size rim did you fit off the Pop, a 14 inch or a 15 inch and what size tyre did you fit in the Maxii. My original Haffie wheels with the original tyres on them are 590 mm in diameter. I plan to f...

Hey Danny, I always found that anyone connected to a set of tracks always wasted the beer, whereas us Grunts never wasted a drop. I have found on my Haffie that where there should be a split pin, there was actually, what looked like a small peg or pin which was a really tight fit in the hole. Initia...

Hey Danny, A really nice looking vehicle. Well done that man !!!!!!! A coat of Olive Drab will fix the chrome mirrors. I thought I was pretty well over the Green Machine but when I saw your cammo roof I started to go a bit gooey. Am into hunting as well but am very restricted here as opposed to when...

Hey Danny, I reakon your suggestion is good although I won't be there as it will be at least 18 months before I would think mine will be ready to use on the road. However the suggestion that a gathering of owners somewhere one day for a BBQ and a drink sounds like an excellent idea and I will be the...
