As a matter of fact I got half the cart yesterday! Got the box with the cart but waiting for the box w/ poles and wheels. I was starting to wonder what was up. I was under the impression that the cart would go out as soon as I paid for it. Looking at the mail tag it must have been @ 4-5 days later it went out. So when I get rest of it I'll try to post some photos. I got new digital camera for xmas, but files sizes are to big to post now. Gotta figure that one out!

Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I have to ask....

I bought a old style non-folding Hazet Assistant november last year. Good condition, good price. The only problem is that I don't know how to use it. I pulled the "shelves" up until the top one clicked into place. Nice, but I do not understand how to release the "shelves" to pull them down. Anyone who can give me a hint?

Another tip is related to the age of the cart. The older style uprights have knobs that are threaded. The newer carts do not so lifting and releasing the trays takes a slightly different technique.

For the old style carts you need to unscrew the knobs a bit before lifting the tray to the top position. Once the tray is up, then you tighten down the knobs and the top tray is held securely in place. To lower the tray you need to back off the knobs so there is less tension of the levers under the tray which release the pins that go into holes on the uprights. (Henrik, I think your knobs may be tight because my girlishly weak fingers have no problem pulling the levers. Try to loosen your knobs.)

For the new style carts the same general rules apply but the knobs are fixed so you don't have to worry about that step. The top tray stays stable on newer carts because the tray slides on a closer tolerance bushing the fits fairly snug around the upright.

Confused now?

The first photo is a Hazet built assistent, the second one is not. Your question about a red cart got me wondering so I called my Hazet contact in Germany. They do build and sell a red cart as a private labelled item to a customer in Mexico. They paint it red in Germany at the factory. The newer carts have the Hazet label removed an are marked with the Mexican companies name, "Arriba" or something like that.

Notice how the second caret does not have the rubber trim bumpers and the trays are a different shape, from a different mold.

Hope this helps.

Anchovy you da man! The keychain rocks. Thanks again for it. The foto in the ad doesn't show the detail. Hate to use it but it is a keychain. Use it for the locks on my 190L and my assistent.

I can see the blue paint on the middle tray at the back.
Looks like some body has gone mad with a can of paint and a big brush!
I bet it would be a nightmare to repaint one,even if it was in good nick when you stripped it.

if you were to repaint one- does anyone know the paint-codes? (light blue, dark blue, yellow)

This is really interesting. I love the photos of the mechanics using the Hazet Assistants working on the Beetles. Wink
