We got away with a 3 day lockdown, but the down side is I have to work this weekend.

Dave

Yes, is it so obvious.

Dave

I had a look at Constatins site and that lists 1981 as the newest.

Dave

I have several different parts books from different years. My newest copy is a 1970 parts book in a green vinyl binder. I was looking at the Prokschi web site and it lists a 1970 parts book, but it has also 1991 on the front cover. any one know if it is a updated parts book to the 1970 I have.

Hi Garry, what make is the reversing light ( manufacturer)

Dave

Hi Garry, I took it to a local brake shop, they asked me if I wanted the pads the same or thicker. I said the same, but I think this has been the problem from the start, this particular wheel has always grabbed when I reversed, so I would drive forward about a meter and it would free it self. I didn...

I think I have collected all the parts I need for my Lwb canvas, I have the canvas and plastic for the windows. I just need some money to pay for it all being put together.

Dave

I think I have finally got all the tools to match the original tool kit, all the spanners and screwdrivers are from Stubai Austria. I have added 2 photos for comparison. I previously mentioned about the tommy bars, I picked them up this week.

Dave

As the old saying goes, as a last resort read the instructions. I got some replacement springs for the shoes, they match the smaller diameter one in the photo. I thought all good everything is new, but when I tried to put the drum on it was still catching and when I tightened the wheel up it locked ...

I have been told that they have a few sets of the tractor tyres left, I'm not sure how much they want for them.
Would anybody be interested in a set? If so I will ask the question.

Dave

I checked both of the shoes were in the correct position and the adjusters were not holding the shoes out. I will hold my hand up and admit I didn't chamfer the edges of the pads. when I refitted the wheel I spun the wheel in both directions as I had both wheels jacked up, the problem drum seemed to...

After fitting everything back together and bleeding the brakes, I thought I would give the haf a little run. I tried to reverse out of my shed, but I found that the same drivers side rear wheel was locked up again. I removed the wheel and found the drum was locked up, but with a bit of tapping I got...

I replaced all the hoses and pipes when I started the rebuild, I was told all the cylinders had been re-lined and looking at the one I replaced the liner was in good condition. sorry I didn't get a part number for the seals. I got the Haflinger in 2007 and started the rebuild around mid 2008, so I d...

I started to bleed the brakes, so started at the rear passenger side, but I could not get any brake fluid through. I have finally traced it to the short flexible brake pipe which connects to the 2 metal brake pipes feeding that leg, to allow for axle movement the pipe is blocked solid, so its anothe...

The cylinders have been previously re lined and are in good condition, so I only needed the seals.

Dave

A photo of the Haflinger I mentioned in the UK. Its me driving when I would try anything.

Dave

I went to the supplier this morning, I asked him to fit the seals on the pistons but when he tried they split as well. He managed to find some that were ok.
I have now refitted the cylinder, brake pads and refitted the wheel, so now I only have to bleed the brakes.

Dave

I removed the the brake cylinder as well and took them to a local brake specialist. They said that the did not have any spares for the cylinder so I left the shoes with them and went to another place I know and got some replacement seals. The first one I tried I could not get over the lip and ended ...

I had the 5 tyres delivered on Saturday. I only have 1 spare rim so I will try one of the tyres on that one.
If it fits ok I might be in the market for 4 other ones.

Dave

This is the brake shoe, it looks very damp. I has not been in any water and I cant find any signs of a oil leak.
