Hi, I would take the distributor out to do any work on it , if you follow the manual it has alignment marks when replacing it , so you can set the timing, once you've done it once its straight forward, good luck . Take a photo before you remove it, …

Hi , Looks like a real nice job, is it made from canvas or mohair, great colour as well, I think i tried to get a quote from all wheel trim, but I had no response, I remember the guys name Kim, but I may be wrong. I like the full length lift up side…
Hi John, regarding the invacar engine , do you know what the difference is between the haflinger and invacar camshaft, I have 2 invacar engines stripped down and one haflinger all 3 have number 5 stamped on the camshaft, If they are different I wil…
Hi John, I see your point , just wanted to route the pipe in the correct place, its been 6 years since i stripped it down and didn't have a photo of that bit, i will get the pipe on and take it for the MOT, it was the last bit , Cheers for the comme…

Hi John,
You were right on all points , I will have to find a 5 speed SWB center tube if I need to fit the 5 speed box, That was a close one if I had tried to swap the gear box at a later date I would have found the body would not align, a lot of e…
Hi John, I thought the difference in length was the spacer that fits on the bell housing , the 4 speed does not have this , I'm sure that the platform mount centres are the same , the engine on the 4 speed would be closer to the gearbox and use a di…

Hi Pete,
I bought the polycab about a year ago for spares, the body was shot, it fell in half when I lifted it from the chassis , but it had a good engine with excellent condition bores and crank, toolbox, tow bar ,battery box, and all the running …
Thanks for the reply John,
I understand what you saying, my body work does not have the channel for the rubber to slide in, but that's no problem now I know which way to fit it ,it might make it easier to fit, and I look forward to driving the hafli…
I`m guilty, the rust bucket is mine, but here`s a little background. It was about 30 years ago I saw a couple of haflingers at local show and thought they looked ace. About three years ago I found one on eBay just looking at "projects" and bought th…
Hi Guys, I bought a complete platform from Haflinger Teknik about a year ago , it was great quality but quite expensive, my haflinger is a 1962 SWB and the original platform was beyond repair, Teknik do stock repair panels and will supply the platfo…
