MechanicalWas the injection pump mechanical or electronic?
.meanwhile we are waiting for the spareparts had we a first inspection with the Roadapproval engineer on the trailer and the truck
I can do what i want in my destrict will it not be able to got the military hitch streetlegal
So i will use a Rockinger, i will not drive to south of germany just to got a minimal chance that they will today approve the military hitch.
In the past was it sometimes possible but in the present time is it not more longer allow. As we have everywhere in germany the same law is it dependent on the engineer...
RO*232 - 76 mm / 40 mm

the strange convert from a dutch preowner for streetlegal of the trailer in NL will be remove and exchange to the original drawbar
For this exists in germany someone who had done a streetlegal approval on that original drawbar. He sells now the report and a test-number for a fee of 830 Euro if i sent the drawbar to their shop. It will be checked and got his certification plate.
A lot of money... but if i would do such an approval for my own i had expected costs by 10000 Euro ++ and a risk that hey will destroy the drawbar in the test.

This would never got a street legal in germany as our Tüv Engineer said it is to weak and it would not fit with the pintle hitch, it need a jaws coupling.
We ordered an original drawbar NOS

Now we are checking the best offer for the original wiring as this would be also change/customid by the NL Preowner for streetlegal
As we have the military trailer wiring on the truck should this fit with the original military trailer wiring
The taillights was also customize for street legal so we need to exchange them
To find an untouched M1102 is very rare here
i know 3 dealer in germany who sells this trailer with streetlegal in germany but always not in using the original equipment
So this trailer have usually also an destroyed wiring and often an exchange drawbar like this

The factory pintle have no certifation so it is not allow here. If it had a US Certification ... than i had a chance. But it come complete without. I can try to got one and let the test of safety and strength in laboraty tests but this is very expensive. Thats why i need also to buy the certification for drawbar otherwise i had to convert like i show above. All used parts have a german certification..
Maybe we just don't quite understand over on this side of the pond.
I'm not sure how using the factory pintle is "less good" or safer.
Seems to me that lining the pockets of a bureaucrat is what is happening there.

.Rear Troops seats are now complete installed - the front seats are complete rebuild and in storage can be installed if rollbar disambled
Did not expect to sit comfortably on it, but I was wrong at least as long as the truck does not drive. As its not allow to have passenger on the cargobox does this not matter. Its a nice camping breakfast/dinner zone. Table will be an ammo-box
