Found the cap I was looking for. They can be had by ordering a cap for a 60ish CJ-5 but I got one for a 52-59 Ford and it fit like a glove. The cap lowered down will give me more room for the rear door opening on the Pinzguer. Cheers !

The trailer in front was another A2 but in just for use shape.

Yes the Pinzgauer is higher and I only have 4" from the pintle to the rear door.

My 1991 M101A2

Just finished up the adjustable lunette unit today... How about one of these? Been saving a few of these for years

What kind of cigar was that? Nice job on the trailer! Mine new A2

The military unit is not as the larger chamber allows the buffer for the compression. The civilian unit has a small hole in the side of the square lug to vent. Mark

Thank you that will greatly help. Now I just need to find that cap. Anyone have a part number for it? I will look online for it. Thank you again, Mark

Yes, Will the the style cap in the pic below screw into the master? If so that will definitely help. If it does fit does anyone here have one they would sell me? Thanks, Mark

The Pinzgauer door is going to be real close to hitting the M101A2 master cylinder res cap and hoping someone here know of a lower profile cap that will work. The stock cap is about 1 3/4" tall and things would go much easier if I just had a near flush cap. I am installing an height adjustable...

For those of you that use a trailer for your military 24volt truck and civilian 12volt truck there is a new inexpensive LED 1156 bulb that makes things real easy. It is the same physical size as the standard 1156 bulb so it will fit into the military housing. The box the bulbs come in has...

I am not stating it won't work I am just making the recommendation that it may not be the best way to go.

If you notice the link "Recovry4x4" refers to is switching out DOT 5 to DOT 3 and maybe seals designed for DOT 3 can handle DOT 5 better than DOT 5 seals can handle DOT 3. The answer to that one that I honestly don't know but once done now you have to worry about how well a flushing job you did...

Found this old thread. You should never switch out types of brake fluid. DOT 3 & 4 are mineral based fluids and DOT 5 is a silicone based fluid. If you switch out the DOT five to DOT 3 the seals in the system will swell due to their incompatibility and vise versa. The seals will prematurely...

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys I really appreciate it. I just ordered the riser in the pic below. So what I am going to do is cut the lunette ring off to give me a flat large surface area block to weld the new channel riser in. then I will just use the ring units listed below and I...

No I really can't. The reg truck I have is a Mazda B2200 pickup and the brakes are stock and not the best when pulling a trailer. The truck does have a chevy 350 stuffed into it so power is not a problem.

Yeah you are right as it is a different setup. The pic I put up shows the riser unit and it sure seems to be the same surge system I have on my m101A2. I removed my lunnette today and it was a PITA with the shock bolt and the master cylinder bolt. I guess they want you to take off the whole...

Yep that's the part I need thank you. I have emailed the company about it. Does anyone here on the site have one for sale? Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the reply. I want to raise the lunette ring up to the top of the riser. This will put the trailer very close to level the the Pinzgauer and with the Lunette ring at the top of the surge unit the door of the Pinz will now clear the surge system. The pintle hitch center of the pinz is...

Hi Guys, I just picked up a really nice M101A2 but ran into a problem. The Lunette ring height works fine for my pickup but really got the trailer to pull behind a Pinzgauer 712M. The problem is with the stock lunette ring height and the surge brakes the rear door on the Pins can not be opened...
