Brian,

There’s no boar hunting in Norway that I know of, though there’s a lot in southern Sweden. I’ve only hunted boar in France and there, fitness isn’t really an issue, accuracy is the real issue. A wounded boar is more than just dangerous.

At first I thought the reason for the blocks some sort of compensation for weak springs. A big reason for the manuals is to find out what it used to look like. The blocks will come off when I confirm it won’t affect the new engine clearance and what the original mount looks like.

I didn’t realize that it’s a long wheel base model, how short is the short one? Also it’s no longer a canvas top but sports a custom/homemade hard top. There will be a lot of panel cutting and replacement.

The rear lift is definitely non-standard, the cut out in the cross member is a dead giveaway. It’s functional but because of the restrictions in the hydraulic system, that and the 3-way tip bed are very slow.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Tom
