andrewroberts.1953 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 That's a bit steep, even if it had a DKW engine. It looks a bit rough for that sort of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi I'm whatching some driveshaft cv joint gaiters on ebay for a munga anyone on here bidding for them ? looking at mine it looks as though one wants changing because its got the wrong type fitted ,, it rubs on the chassis ,, how much would one cost ? seems as though there's a few mungas with different engines fitted , before I bought my munga i did search & find a diahatsu 3 cyl turbo diesel engine , just in case it the munga did'nt run , What RPM will the munga engine be doing at 60mph ?

andrewroberts.1953 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 The boots can be had from the German dealers for not too much money, as are the head gaskets. I find people bit over the top on Ebay for MUNGA bits in the UK. I would be very suprised if you can't get a MUNGA engine to run well, the hard part is the ignition timing. There is a trick, and I will send you the details if you can pm me your postal address. Most 4 stroke engines are not much good for conversions, but the Ford V4 works well. But due to the weight, the steering is not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi all ,,,,,, Willyslancs its great when the paint starts to go on , I've just fixed up a smaller welder . found on my muga under the seat boxes there's a top hat section of steel that needs to be replaced along with a section of floor ,,,,,,,,,a few used parts came with my munga ,,,,,,,drive shaft ,, hub ,, brake cylinders not sure if they'd work again i was going to strip them down and hone them , I just need to find out what parts I might need for mine , need to get it jacked up to see if there's any play in the king 'n' link pins , , then need to remove each hub and check if all the brakes are working Windscreen has a crack through it ,so i was thinking of getting a friend that replaces windscreens to cut a new laminated one ,, I've a lady freind that repairs horse blankets , going to ask her to repair the top rear part of the hood ,, I have noticed on one of the doors that there's a number printed on the canvas ,, ,,, might this number be of use to find info amout the munga ?

Willyslancs Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 not sure about that number mate , when we get round to doing our roof , we may look for an old one as a template ( dads a dab hand at upholstery , did all the jeep seats and side screens by hand years ago ).....

andrewroberts.1953 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Brake slave kits are about £5 each. Don't forget that you must have all four wheels off the ground at the same time, as no central diff fitted. Don't try and take the shafts out of the carriers, or take the drive hubs off. You need a special puller, and it's easy to put it back wrong without the handbook. if you don't have a handbook, pm me. Numbers on canavs, are normaly the "local" vehicle number. That is the number given to a vehicle by the user unit, not a reg number. Don't be fooled by the front king pins etc (same as back, just not used), as unless you have pumped lots of greese in these feel very slack. If these are bad change them with the back ones, or replace the sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Will be after one of the hand books if the last owner of mine does'nt have one have to do everything by the book :cry: that'll be a first :-D i'll have a good look at an old rusty hub that came with the munga , think there's a large bucket with a complete hub carrier with king 'n' link pins so will study how its all built Regards Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 a few pics of the body , bits been welded and the body had some paint put on.Putting few coats on before the olive drab ....:coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 not much to the body tub once its all striped , how much will a complete munga weigh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 not sure mate, was heavy to push when we first got it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewroberts.1953 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 1085 Kg, ready for road. Pushing is a problem, as you have to turn all that four wheel drive running gear! If only one wheel brake is binding slightly, it's amplified by 4. This is why the MUNGA brakes are not bigger, and why not having the prop connected is a very bad idea! Paint is looking good, and the body is like new from the photos. Put a coat of underseal on the battery shelves, before the matt green. The original finish should be almost eggshell, with a sheen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 in between doing a few other jobs , one job that was a bit of lathe work so I thought I'd give the munga pressure plate a quick polish up , I had a few clutch plates but found the one fitted to be very good so will re-use ,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 any spade brackets out there in munga land ? (need both bits please)...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewroberts.1953 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Does not look like "normal" spade fixing for MUNGA 4. Looks more like MUNGA 6. The MUNGA 4 spade (no t on handle) is fitted inside of the drivers side, and has a rubber strap. I will try and get a photo for you. The bit the metal part of spade, goes into a metal loop. This is welded to the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 thats great mate cheers , dad picked a spade up at malvern , the bloke thinks it might be swiss ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Popped into the garage tonight when collecting my daughters , the underneath of the body is looking really good , had some more olive drab put on ,got a slight sheen to it , looks the part .Whilst it has been on its side , it has made painting under the dash so much easier .(the more paint on the merrier .) All being well , it wil be turned back over the right way next week, need to move it to get the willys out (hopefully have a run out over christmas).....
