G'day Billy, There should be another plate on the vehicle somewhere (normally in the cab) for a conversion or second manufacturer, The GCM is Gross Combined Mass, or weight of vehicle AND trailer combined. Just make sure there are no upgrades on the GVM i.e.4495kg + Anything over 4500kg GVM will...

Does it have the large doors on the rear, or the small? The ex Suncoast bus that was at Quaids, was built by Noosa bus and coach around 15 years ago, it has a corporate air system on the roof. Does it look like this

The system on your roof is a Carrier system mate, similar to what John fits onto the Warriors. It's an off engine drive system, suitable for running when travelling, I agree that you would be better off with a split system. You'd do well to call Oz Tours and see if you can sell them the Carrier...

HMMM.... I've been there, after this incident, a steering wheel attendant, who i wont identify as he lives close to some of us, was impatient and wrote off a perfectly good bus............ Very hard to remove wheels 1 week after incident!!!!

I thought i had a piccy of it in the archives...

How is Barry? I delivered that truck for him with Arnie from Noosa to Orange!!! She was one of the best Trucks that ever left the factory!! If I'm not mistaken, Paul built the front bar on that one.

We run a small tour company in the tropics of Far North Queensland (Australia) where we have the reputation of being the wettest area in OZ. With the new model, i was wondering if anyone could let me know, seeming as this place has the best information of anywhere i visit, are the "new" rear...

As we say in the tropics here..... "The system wasn't designed to win!!!!!" Have you got any pics of progress on the one you've got? I've been lovin' watching her improvements.....

Hey Alaska Mike, you couldn't, say, combine the 2!!!!!!!

I love the fg's, i've put them through hell and back in all sorts of configs and they always come through. (except for the time i cracked a chassis, bloody 4.5 mm)

G'day mate, welcome aboard the Canter info super highway!!! ( currently alot of roadworks near me.)

It will be the front diff, can't see it causing any damage to the outer drive assembly. I've had issues with one of my hubs free wheeling even though it was locked in, some dumb bunny re assembled the free wheeling hub incorrectly, putting the stonger spring on the wrong side of the lock washer...

It's not an FSS, it's an FTS ;) Here's the photo I've been looking for....

Which one is the unimog?????? :friday: :oops:

That was me mate, i was doing a run for heritage tours because thier driver was crook. I was admiring your gear, but ran out of time and had to shoot through..... i will catch up with ya next time!!

I saw him up there this year, at the croc tent, now he will be scratching his head!!!!

How much for something like that but with 14 pax + driver and your high roof cab conversion on the front?

You could possibly leave as little as 3 leaves in with the coil over-rider above. Try something with a long travel like a defender coil, I think the ute rear end on the defender had dual coil if i'm not mistaken. The main thing is to eliminate the shorter springs to decrease the rebound rate...

Also have a very tough looking SWB '07/'08 FG I'll take a pick of that too cause it would be a great size for a camper. Engineer is your bus a SWB? Take it easy. John [

I forgot to measure the bloody rims again... AARRRGGHHH!!!! The new FG is nice, i'll get some pics tomorrow. they are HEAPS quieter than the superceeded model. New engine, box and remodelled tranny by the look of it too. still the 4mm rear chassis section :mad: still the short springs, gone is...
