Should you ever be curious, this is a Haflinger suspension arm. Two eventually removed from Harry after a lot of corroded bolts were finally convinced to turn. Now all stripped, cleaned and repainted. Will get all new seals and bushes as there was an enormous amount of slop. Don't think it's been out since birth.

Just went for a little drive across the city to pick up some Fiat wheels for the Haflinger. Fit perfectly. Now to go for a longer drive to get another set of tyres.

Turns out the canopy for the we went to pickup today is not the canvas type.

Just a Haflinger hanging out in the hills.

Going to pick up some bits for our new addition today and perve at other Haflingers.

Apparently when you have one Haflinger, you should have two Haflingers ๐Ÿ‘€

Look how beautiful! Haflinger wheels powder coated, now with brand new rubber direct from Germany.

Some more unusual spots. Fiat Puntos never did great sales here. A little Mazda 121 survivor. Ford Mustang (there are thousands of these here). And I think that Haval needs some more badges to even it up.

We got a second hand toolbox for our Haffy, and tyres and inner tubes for now. I am sure we'll be back for some more bits later.

There was a third Haflinger inside another shed. This one is the same model as ours, so is what ours would have looked like once.

There's two Haflingers parked in this container. And a very rare thing; an Australian only built tiny Haflinger trailer that the Australian Defence Force engineers used to cart tools and equipment around with back in the sixties. Never seen one before, not many made and I doubt many survived.

But this is what we were after. A container full of Haflinger bits! Lots of New Old Stock stuff too.

Drove through some wet patches but overall wasn't too bad. Did see a VW Type 3 notchback as well but the photo didn't turn out.

Went for a two hour drive in the countryside today to pick up some brand new Haflinger tyres for Harry. Because when you have a Haflinger, you can't shop for Haflinger parts in the usual auto store. Some interesting spots on the way.

In Haflinger news, the tyre dude is finally organising 5 tyres for us. They're small enough to post two tyres per parcel. Hopefully be here by early next week.

Harry's carbie has returned and it is GORGEOUS. Cleaned and scrubbed, new parts plated, extractor painted, look at it. Going to go in here with this soon.
