Hi
I should probably say that your thread is the reason i joined in the first place. I find it very interesting and informative for a number of reasons which i shall elaborate upon forthwith.
I have worked a fair bit with Pinzgauers of all variants including the armoured Vector with the British Army both in the UK and in Afghan.
Now back in Britain i find myself completing a military education course which requires a mechanical project. To this end, i have chosen to investigate the Pinzgauer park brake system, which seems to have a bit of a performance issue. I am in contact with BAE systems who supply and support the British army with these vehicles, they were helpful and confirmed my findings.
The problem seems to be the parkbrake discs fail to disengage fully and as a result burn out, causing a fair bit of damage in the process.
I was wondering if you knew of anything regarding this?
Thank you again for you thread it brings back a lot of memories of getting hot and dirty under a leaky old Pinzgauer.
