I'll be seeing the gear cutters in a weeks time and hope to have current pricing. When I have it all together I will reach out and let you know. Dan.

Yep, manifold looks about right on the engine. Rotate the cold side of the turbo so it faces down and run the pipe forward to the intercooler in front of the radiator. Use an intercooler from a FE73. The inlets and outlets tuck around the radiator just above the chassis. Dan.

No experience with it but have heard from someone that has done one that it is far better than stock. I myself would like to hear if you do it how much better it is. Keep everyone informed if you do it. Will it boost from low revs and how low, how much boost at what revs. That is important for...

Look to me just normal shoes but linings are riveted instead of glued. If linings are of a different composition than normal that may increase brake performance but may wear quicker (say softer linings). Riveted linings can stand more heat as they can't come unglued. They use heat to unglue the...

Yes, there should be a snap ring that holds the axle in the hub. Undo the little allen key screws and remove the outer part of the hub. Then you need to remove the circlip on the end of the axle and the six bolts to remove the rest of the hub. The shudder/noise :- bear with me. It is not...

Me. I'm going to tell you to get a 2000 model FG637 or similar in the USA. No computer, N/A, need to fit a turbo. Manual gearbox with low range transfer case. Regear the transfer case. Change to super singles (16" or 17") 35" tyres. Unkillable Tractor style engine and Yes, you need to learn to...

It's been a long time. Lets bring this back to the top as I have had a few inquiries about gearsets and need a few more people that want them to be able to get another run done. PM me. They have now done another 3 Cape York runs, a Simpson Desert and Madigan Line run. lots of local Area driving...

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...

Posted in wrong thread.

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...

" 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...

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...

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...

Love the pictures. Dan.

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.
