Hi,

a nice 406 or is it a 403. But the Eller Hardtop seems to be quite in good condition. If you need spares like rubber seals, no problem Eller Germany is still supplying spares.

Regards,
Markus

I've heard of folk adding air handbrakes to round cabs before. Not sure of the advantage? Maybe they work better?

Re. The air line. Do you mean trailer air at the back or a line to connect tools to? I fancy adding the latter to mine as my tyre charging point doesn't seem to exist.

I don't know about the newer round cabs being longer? I thought that once the u600 got larger they were all the same size. In the world of mogs, nothing ever surprises me! Mine has a very slightly shorted load bed which makes it look longer. Could that be the case with yours?

The standard ones certainly don't seem to hold as well as they should for such a tough vehicle. I've driven up several soil piles and put it on only to roll back where I came from! And that's with all new brake parts that are correctly adjusted! ::)

It tickles me every time i watch "die hard: A good day to die hard" when there in the supposedly UHN unimog (which is actually a 1300l with a UHN grill and bonnet) and then he pulls the handbrake on to do a turn... the cable operated handbrake... in a UHN Unimog. The U1300l is even air operated!  :-*
