    99 FG Starts, runs rough, won't rev up

    I,ll chime in here. But I will tell you, I have no real experience with this engine and pump only hear say knowledge. If this is the same pump as on our Fg649 Canters and numerous industrial uses (mini excavators and bobcats). Then apparently inside the pump there is a small PC board that sits...

    springs

    Standard width leaf, standard thickness leaf. They (spring makers) can best measure the length from your old springs. They probably already have a listing of what you old springs are measured at in their spring manuals. They will work out what set (curvature) is needed to achieve what you...

    springs

    " Hard customer ". What do you need to see then ? They look just like standard springs but a slight difference in centre bolt to rear eye measurement . If you look at the shackle end of you springs (the movable end). On standard vehicle the shackle pretty much is straight up and down. When...

    springs

    If you search some of my earlier threads there are some photos of the springs and my Canter. Also if you go to YouTube and search after " AussieIron1 " there are videos of my Canter offroad. Yes, they go back a few years and the camper has changed to a new one now but same Canter improved all...

    springs

    Simple solution. Leave spring hangers where they are. Take a front and rear spring to a spring manufacturer. Get them to measure them and add 25mm to the length from the centre bolt to the rear eye. Increase set on the new springs by about 60mm in height. This will bring eye to eye length near...

    Fuso FG rear wheel stud size anybody?

    Depends on year model. Earlier models had slightly smaller studs. I believe 19mm. I'm not sure of date change over but I'm saying pre-2001. Dan.

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    I have looked into getting fuel drops done in the desert where we want to go. There are no airstrips and I could find no-one that would do an airdrop into the region. I couldn't even find info from anyone that has done fuel drops on a few survival/outdoors forums on the net. Parts , yes that...

    No, My engineer that I was working with broke a vertebrae in his neck while on holidays in NSW and never returned home. Survived as far as I know and now lives close to family (kids) . I've not been able to find another that will work with me, they all want to do the job themselves which all...

    Balancing beads question

    The beads are actually different sizes in the packet and not all really round. Average about 3mm in size. Of the top of my head can't remember the brand I used but they are poor quality stainless because I use a magnet to collect them out of the old tyre to put into the new ones. Don't see any...
