Wolf, Thanks for the photos. Did you see Frank Flick there? That bugger needs to send me an email. One other question....do you think that the Unimog 404 wheel/tire combo will fit the B2000? I have an extra set and was considering installing them. If not, any suppliers over there for the 16...

That's quite possible, Wolf. When we ground down the paint to expose the various layers, we found first a tan primer, then a sort of grayish green (Bundesweher) then Red which seems to match RAL 3000. That would have made it a fire service vehicle, or Catastrophen or Zivilian Schutz? Anyway...

Thanks Wolf. I did notice that, yes. I also noticed that my 1958 Berna 2US would accept both designs. I have fixed the issue. The yoke has now been cut and modified to fit the Euro size pintel receiver. The FBW (Franz Brozincevic Wetzikon) receiver is a fully articulating Rocklinger pintel...

I once saw where an axle had been shifting fore and aft on the leaf spring causing track issues. Ever been behind a truck where the tail was either left or right of the front end? Same idea. Watch-out when people speak in 'absolutes.' "Cant be....." "Never could...." I've seen some crazy...

Bummer....too far away from me....:|

Do you have an axle shifting on a spring? Should be somewhat obvious if you do. Good luck.

I could use some front seat belt latches.......And, oh look, you're interior is the same color as mine. :mrgreen:

But they're green. Isn't that all it takes? :D

Thought I'd share these photos I took at a rest stop while I was heading to Daytona FL a while back. I can't remember if posted these or not. Anyone have additional photos of this type all finished up? Thanks...

Be sure to check your brake hose. They can deteriorate and collapse internally. Applying them, the fluid flows through. Release the brake pedal and the pressure can remain causing the brake to drag, heat, grab more, etc. Not sure if this was mentioned, just wanted to be sure you didn't...

Can the typical CUCV easily handle the wheel/tire weight of the standard Hummer combo?

That is VERY useful information. Thank you for sharing that.....[thumbzup]

My apologies. I didn't mean to imply the Avgas has ethanol. I was just warning of any fuels with it, don't use it. To my knowledge, ethanol is not FAA approved.

Great info. Thanks much!

And yes, it has a tiny little pintel receiver like the FBW. :cookoo:

Thank you! Ugly = Useful. :mrgreen:

One other thing I wanted to mention. Don't use fuel with Ethanol. As I understand it from a recent FAA / Rotax seminar, fuels with Ethanol can separate while stored and this concentration of alcohol is what can do the most damage to the engine when run, and seals that it sits against. I'm...

Hey guys.... Not sure where to post this, but thought I'd keep y'all in the loop during the color change and WW2 'conversion' of the Borgward. It's a 9 seat convertible intended as a staff field vehicle / command car.

Well It might be true that at the point of discovery, I did have "pintel envy" going. :mrgreen:

Just got one off Ebay and put it in. Perfect fit, easy job. Now the dash reflects the condition of the rest of the M1009. [thumbzup]
