Brooky Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 These are for 2 over centre clips that hold a handle for a Tirfa winch, the winch is stored in the seat box under the driver’s seat. What type of Tirfor winch was carried? I have a 1600kg one to sell. Munga8 where did you get your munga? i can remember a good few years ago a yard somewhere aroun Kimbolton that had two or three for sale, along with a Model T fire engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munga8 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Brooky, My Munga 8 did originate from the yard nr. Kimbolton. I purchased it from a third party who purchased it along with another vehicle some years previous. The yard was run by a gentleman by the name of Sid Starling. Sid (Sadly now no longer with us) was the local scrap man and general wheeler dealer, who I believe originated from the East end? I have been searching for photo’s for some time without success, so if you have any I would be very pleased to have a copy. When you visited the yard did you make a purchase of anything?

phil munga Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Is it only certain munga models that would be fitted with Tirfa winches , sure I've got the same type of tirfa somewhere ,,, Its a very tidy cable store 'Munga8' do you know what thickness the wire cable is for that tirfa ? , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munga8 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Phil, Sorry don’t know the cable thickness – there is no cable with my unit, I may be able to find out. I am not sure about if every Munga was fitted with a winch – I understand that they would have originally all come from the factory fully equipped. However if they were fitted with a parachute hook then it was not possible to fit the winch and bits under the seat. My Munga did have a parachute hook but I have decided to rebuild it without and fit the accessorizes as I feel it will be a better presented vehicle? I have attached a picture off the equipment list.

phil munga Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Hi will, some good bits of equipment there to find in the above pictures , do you know if the jack a Bilstein ? looks like one that I have from an old VW only diference is the base its round instead of oblong shaped + the hieght of suport bar maybe longer for the munga ,,,,,,, Mark that Landy grill looks like it'll do the job , Phil Edited December 13, 2009 by phil munga more to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 yep we placed it behind the old grill, it looked really good .. the label on the old grill is what remains of its army label R.A.O.C. if i remember rightly ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
