Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
| 1 of 1 | Back to gallery |
Having made the decision to fit Hutchinson wheels to my G Wagen it left me with the task of fitting a wide arch kit to accommodate the wider wheels. Whilst I have carried out all previous work myself I had never fitted such a kit and thought it best left to someone with more experience of this type of work. After much research I decided to employ the services of S-tec to undertake the work for me.
S-tec are based in the power train division of the Magna Factory in Albersdorf just out side Graz. The work was undertaken in just one day and I have been pleased with the result. Hope you enjoy these pictures. (the last photo was a G Wagen that passed us near Nurnberg I just liked the barn doors so watch this space).

Re: Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
I had seen that green Puch G on their site for sale. It looks very very nice ! But i also took a shine to the Blue PUR with the white graphics.
Kevin, Did you see the Blue one by any chance ?
All the best,
Neil.
Re: Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
No I didn't see the blue one when I was there. You could try asking Adrian he has been there more recently than me. The green one is built as a hunting version with rifle cabinets and dog cage etc. In the back ground of the one photo you can see the hunting towers which are towable. They said they sell a lot!
Re: Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
Is it them big green towers behind the fire truck pinz ? Tow them ? sounds a bit scary !!! (nice factory. i think i'd be like a kid in a sweet shop)
Yes i'll ask Adrian if he's seen the blue one.

GRAZ is calling.
Re: Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
Yes it is those towers. They recon they sell one a week????
Re: Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
Works best if you weigh them down a bit with two large men poking shotguns out of the slits.
Guaranteed to prevent tailgaters.

Re: Travelling to Graz for Wide Arches and Hutchinson Wheels
The Germans and Austrians don't really go in for stalking but prefer to sit up a tree (or towable tower!) for half a day and maybe shoot something if it happens to wander by.
