I also want to pull out the stock air/oil filters and put in a paper style modern filter, as soon as I can figure out what would fit in the same air filter compartment.... Anyone have any ideas?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So did you pull the Wabco unit out?Thanks for the compliments!
1500x21 is very rare almost everywhere I think. I will keep you in mind when I get to ordering some. Easy way out might be to get regular 10-hole truck rims 14x22.5 or something like that.
I tried to install a new air pressure regulator combined with air dryer and heater. But the tatra air compressor is always driven, and all new regulators I found require a compressor that can be offloaded when working pressure is reached. I bypassed that system but then the unit couldnt keep up with the compressor.
In the end I reverted to the standard system, but I might install a seperate dryer. Not had problems with freezing yet though.
Saw this on a very local rural funfair (kermis) last week. They said it was a special version of the Tatra, with two steering axles but only one rear axle. Thought I share it with you.
Wish I could but no budget for thatFLY me over and back, I'll drive with you
Hello! Diesel is not really the problem, you can get it plenty, and its not that expensive in Africa. However, buying a truck and driving it to Zambia right away is asking for trouble. Not sure where you plan on buying one, but unless you get a fully restored one you will definately run into some heavy maintenance work or face serious trouble on the road. If you get a restored one this is most likely already done for you, but then you will likely run into childhood problems (bolts not tightened properly, engine adjustments, the works). If you get a cheap unrestored one, there is no saying what problems you will run in to.....
