I was looking at one of the scrapyards for my missing fixed brake line. Found something I thought would fit, then noticed it actually was an air line. Were they the same in strength and diameter? The line I am looking for is 0.39 inch (10 mm), from the slave cylinder to the distribution point.

:unsure: what does the O stand for?

I think these trucks and jeeps were at that yard several years, they bought them surplus years and sometimes decades ago. They have a team of about 5 max 10 workers there and slowly repair and repaint the trucks, scavenging the worst trucks to keep the repair of the good ones cheap. Ones enough...

I like the dragline and its orange color. Orange always attracts a true Dutchman!

BinderDan, can you show some more pics and description of the truck. No offense, but it looks a bit like a child's dragline toy, which is my favourite. :) This comes to my mind because we just spent a week with our two grandkids (10 and 13) in the Netherlands, showing them my heritage...

Probably not government, but everything else, yes, especially bigger mining, construction, and agriculture companies. Not even sure they are all sold or they have a African company (or plural) who buys them bulk and sells them individually, taking care of the local paper work. I did not ask...

They bought whole lots of surplus all along, probably from the very beginning in the 60s and 70s. Then slowly, by type, they repair-overhaul them, repaint them, load them with overhauled or NOS parts or complete jeeps, and ship them off. I could buy new and NOS stuff from them, but when I asked...

Three DAF YA 328 water trucks, with details of the cabin and the pump positioned where a whinch would be.

Can't post post titles anymore? Anyway: anybody for a truck or two in perfect condition? Better hurry, because these are all prepared and ready to go to Africa. Why waste space: the truck beds are full of spare parts, tires, generators, ... ... or nicely repainted Mercedes jeeps...

Some more details of the supporting wheel/spare. The first one shows how the wheel is nicely positioned to help raise the truck of the edges. The second shows details of the "hub" after the wheel has been removed. You can see that it is actually connected as a none-powered wheel.

which side of Berlin are you more or less? Now not much time, maybe next time I go to the netherlands through dresden magdeburg I can swing around.

Svenson / Deggingen / Germany , about a third down from the list. Coffeelover29 the system knows, but shows no results on posts, meaning he registered but never posted??? MB2232 , maybe inform patracy, the main web boss, maybe something went wrong with the shift to the new forum software

I am in the Netherlands, and am looking for some parts. Two front axle seals I have, set me back $20 a piece, good price I think. Then I looked up Sindorf Trading again online, to check if they have spare parts. This is a good one to get frustrated on a rainy afternoon. Last time I mentioned...

I was checking the list to find somebody in the North of the Nederlands or Germany who has an old M39 or M809 truck or parts, and ran into a few members mentioned in the list which according the site search do not exist or have not posted anything according the new system. Maybe check up on...

And this is why in the long run ANY form of mobile phone manipulating is going to be forbidden for drivers, and they will rethink what is possible with the online navigation screen also, like blocking it to show movies while you are driving etc. That driver is lucky s/he only raked the side...

:hammer: oeps . Isn't the order family - friends - country or something? She was on the the three I would have voted for in any other year.

Good point. As you can see from the pic now, rear wheels are permanent, front is lock and release. I added the translation in the original post

Is voting still open? Anyway, Ron with the wrecker in action swapping beds. A bit like juggling and finding under which cup is the pea

Translation - Two-Headed Monster DAF means "van Doorne Automobiel Fabriek". Van Doorrne was a genius in designing cars and trailers. He also designed the Variomatic, a fully automatic step-less transmission. As effect of this, the DAF could drive backwards as quick as forwards ... in 1958.

There is one famous DAF family in the Nederlands: De Rooy. Jan de Rooy and his brother establsihed De Rooy Transport using DAFs. He already drove DAF cars in rally's, but switched to trucks in the Paris Dakar rally. Most famous was his double cabin version Not that it could drive both ways...
