During the engine rebuild I also replaced the governor bearings, oil seal and gasket, can anybody advise what type of oil and how much is required ?.

Hi Garry,
Try Tony Hrleja in Melbourne regarding parts he may have some in stock, when I had carb problems he explained step by step how to set it up, which did cure the problem I was having. If you ask he may do the rebuild for you.

I refitted the engine on to the gearbox yesterday. but the rear of the body still wants lowering on to the rolling chassis. Question ? which is the correct way to fit the engine bay rubber seal to the engine cowling ?.The last time I refitted the engine , the rubber seal was fitted to the body work ...

More photos of Tonys other rebuilds,this was approx 30 years ago. The 2 wreckers were purchased from a mine near Weipa (AUS) the rest are of the 2 hafs during rebuild and completion. Tony advised me he put a Toyota air cooled engine in the red haf, he later sold them both. We later found the red one...

Hi Julian, the gearbox kept dropping out of 2nd gear when I de clutched, so I decided to strip the gearbox to find the problem. I found that all the needle rollers on a bearing towards the front of the pinion of the gearbox were all missing with only ground up dust mixed with the oil. surprisingly t...

I require a new rubber seal( part no.41) that fits on the top of the air deflector plate (no 40) and seals to the blower cowl (no 1)on page 1 25/0 of the parts book as mine is getting worn. has any one got a new one that they wish to sell or advise where I could get one.

I had some interesting photos given this week, I was talking to my friend Tony from whom I purchased my haf from and who has helped me with the rebuild,Tony has a full workshop and he has done quite a lot of work on haflingers in the past (more to follow) if he knew what the original rego number was...

Hi John ,

Finally received the main bearings yesterday , so we started the rebuild today. first problem we found was one of the crankshaft bearing locating pins was missing ( right of photo) ,so we had to make another,second problem was the same a Julian , it took 4 attempts to get all the main bearings in th...

Hi Gary ,Could I inquire if you sorted the air problem,if so would you enlighten us.
Dave.

Hi Julian , I was referring to the shims on page 3 10/0 no,s 9a-9p. I did not replace the rubber cones as they seemed in good condition so I re-used them.
Dave

Julian , If you do decide to remove the center tube ,when you rebuild it ,I was advised by Tony Herlja ( ex Melbourne production line assembly) that there is no gasket between item 16 & 20 as this will alter the measurements for the spacers, hope this helps.
Dave

Hi Julian, There is a spline socket where the center tube connects to the gear box & similar at the front. so nothing will drop out. sorry I cant find any photos of the front spline, but I will stand corrected if wrong that the front spline is on page 310/0 part no.11 which is the four wheel dri...

Dave Just had a thought when I had my oil bath filter painted ,when I refitted it my engine wou...

Hi Ian ,

Hi Ian, just noticed the registration number on the Haf ,could I inquire if you previously lived in Hebden Bridge ,West Yorkshire?. I ask, as we lived in Todmorden and owned the vehicle with that reg number.

Dave

Thanks for all the help /suggestions I will test all the circuits with 8 amp fuses fitted when I finish the engine rebuild ,I am waiting for parts to arrive ,received the tin work from the blasters yesterday ,all ready primed so they are ready for the top coat .

Dave

Hi John, I installed the wiring harness some time ago and connected every wire as they were originally installed,and every thing seems to work (I took notes and photos of the connections to both fuse boards).The original inquiry was what size of fuse needs to be fitted to each circuit ( lights/wiper...
