will that make a diesel electric hybrid the "decanter"

I'll have to go measure the height ...... :) 3.25m plus the detachable exhaust (don't ask - but it is useful as it will hit first and can be seen from cab). Forgot to mention, we let some air out of tyres to get into a car park in Chengdhu for a couple of nights camping. I'm about than 1.85m...

for voo_pah I can't reply to your email ..... the email address is unknown and portal config is no emails

must be 7 years ......... I can't remember if that's short term or long term memory .......... I'll have a look :)

pop top seemed to put constraints on windows, doors, bed, etc. that didn't suit my idea of space. Constraints of full height (drop top) are different. table hadn't been installed in this pic, the big rear window seemed important, the side windows are at head height when seated, the bed is...

how could you possibly forget the "drop top"? :) normally full height solid side. For shipping in container the top half of sides are removable. Takes a few hours to convert each time. But then how many times in vehicle life does it get shipped in a container? A bit messy designing joints. All...

I was looking for something else and tripped over the following, from the front of my (around 2005) manual so my FG649E is (F) forward control, (G)diesel, 4wd, (6)wide cab, (4) gvm 6000-6900kg, (9) 4D34-T, (E) 2780mm wheelbase char 1 Vehicle Type F = forward control char 2 Basic loading...

Mr Nakajima may be of some help ..... https://aidjapan.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/the-model-number-of-mitsubishi-canter/ I have an FG649E FG 4wd the 9 in 649 is 4D34 engine the E is 6m chassis (which in other places has been called "medium wheelbase" as opposed to "short" or "long") I 64 seems...

driving position is very different. The "ridge" across the front can be hard on the thighs. I have a thin cushion in the hole. Hadn't thought of raising the rear. Plus is the long trips were longer at higher speed with original springs. No idea with parabolics but we've had some very long days.

I changed seats in a Coaster bus, to electrically adjusted Lexus. Has to be a chain of fasteners of correct size and "backing plate" of correct area from body, for seat and seat belts. Yes, Qld engineer involved and mod plate. Constraint for Canter with suspension seats seems to be headroom...

maybe a second forklift on the opposite side, lifting the frame, so one side is fully compressed, the other side fully expanded. also things "bend" under dynamic loads in ways that don't show with static loading. but 180mm from that position "should" be ok. I have 250mm from flat on the Canter.

Mitsubishi have a rear axle bump diagram. I don't know about Isuzu. Simplistically, one side on squashed bump stop, the other side fully extended. The narrow chassis and dynamic forces mean the movement can be a lot more than one may imagine at first glance. Then allow for tyre size.

ta, well done, it looked a bit odd in the photo

looks nice, very professional, probably my imagination, how long is the overhang?

the shiny black paint is new, lots of overspray and some missed bits that look a bit rough. Also have a look at the bottom rear of the cab and the cast iron engine bits.

neat looking sun shade

something very wrong .... low vacuum and pedal to the floor are potentially inconsistent, possibly two problems. foot to the floor is either air in the hydraulic system or brake shoe adjustment too loose. it may be that excessive movement of the pedal uses more vacuum, if after fixing the...

the payback on the plastic welding gear for diy was three tanks. Since then its been used for all sorts of tasks.

I have diy plastic welded polypropylene. I'm a retired metallurgist.

on a Toyota Coaster I teed into the line from tank to engine, near the tank. Avoided the return line. With my Canter that approach failed as the line drained overnight. I could never find a leak. I drilled the tank and installed a webasto (similar to ebersp....) stand pipe. Similar to this...
