Robur, S2A FC
By: 1960SeriesII Date: September 7, 2014, 5:23 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Collected Robur from the garage where he got some attention to
brakes, clutch and the fuel system. It is a 1966 S2A FC, rear
springs still below the axle and probably still 109", but
haven't measured this as yet. Served 1966-1998 with the St.
Johann in Tirol fire brigade.
Then it changed hands a few times and in June this year we
bought him off a chap in Austria who got some nasty diagnosis
and had to get rid of all his projects. The truck has a
remarkably well-preserved chassis, but the body shows signs of
being left outside for years:

Needs some rust-proofing and a few spots will need the attention
of a wire brush, but otherwise it is a good old fireman - just
10000 km on the clock.

Not sure whether my life would improve with three kidneys, but
it would definitely deteriorate with an extra freely visible
limb - except if I got a job in the freak circus ;D
...on second thoughts, a freak circus is becoming a rather apt
description of our yard, with all these vehicles dwarfing our
eurobox (VW Polo) jwdrp

Slowly removing the rust spots and looking around for suitable
door seals for the rear passenger/equipment compartments. The
rear body is really well thought-through, but they could have
realized that steel won't last as long as aluminium... On the
other hand, the Rosenbauer company probably didn't build it to
last 50 years, which it did. Pity the fire department sold it so
soon, if they held onto it for another ten years, it would have
survived in much better shape :-\
But it's a pleasure to drive - an altogether new sensation
compared to the other two of our fold.

Yep, bought the adapter for the angle grinder - a first-time
polishing experience for me, but I too believe much of the paint
work needs a thorough scrub and will turn out nicely.

Can't wait for snow, looking around for snow chains for
9.00x16's :) Robur is getting a Classic Heads breakerless
distributor kit, new spark plug leads, new distributor cap and a
long-postponed oil change. Also the SU HD6 carb will need
reconditioning, as Robur is hopeless when you want to start him
up with the engine warm. The engine most likely floods with
petrol and won't start until the temperature drops a bit...
