Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
Looks good, is it working? Or will it need lots of TLC, actually - even if it is working it is going to need lots of TLC!!!

Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
Brakes appear to be a common issue. I wonder if it is always the same bits? On mine it started out being the master cylinder (seized), then wheel cylinder(s) - I replaced them all as two were leaking and the other two looked ropey. Then because of the leaking I replaced the brake shoes.
Finally, when the brakes still refused to work well enough for the MOT I replaced the flexible hoses. Things started working then!
I have to agree that they are not the best brakes in a vehicle I have ever used - I noticed in the parts book that there is a different braking system listed. Any body know about that?

Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
John,
I have seen both a single circuit system alone as well as a single circuit sytem with a vacuum booster(on a 703APK truck). The manual lists two additional sytems: Dual circuit systems without and with vacuum booster. I have never had the good fortune to examine either of the dual circuit systems in person nor do I know just how many trucks were produced using either of these variations.
Take care.

Matt - It is looking good - how is your Dad?
It looks as if you are going for a truck cab rather than a full canopy.

The original full canopy and frame was a local Australian mod I think. The short cab is now all factory hardware. The tray has rear seats and I'll probably get a matching canvas cover made for the rear.

Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
Yes your Dad seemed pretty dedicated to getting it all right.
Where did you get your canvas made/purchased from? I really need to get a new top for mine.
Cheers

No pattern. It's an original canvas with a patch using some ebay canvas.

Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
A little bird told me that there is a dismantled Haflinger to be auctioned at Pickles in Canberra this month - are these your left over bits.
I checked with Pickles but they know nothing about it.
I need SWB tray side and rear sideboards - mine are good but not original. A tow bar would also be handy.

Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
Hey, my name is Adam from Dunsborough, west oz! Recently purchased a 69 haf from Doug Lennox in Queensland! Not very good with tech and forums etc but have been reading everything I can about them! Will try work out how to put up some pics soon! So far have had engine fired up, ordered new fuel pump and working through electrics!

Love your doors - are they factory, or did you have them made?

Re: Another Canberra Haflinger
Both the metal and the fibreglass doors are local "factory" options as I believe they were manufactured in Melbourne and sold as options. If anyone has an Australian price list....
