my starting point for things like tanks and non-critical stuff is Rocklea Truck Spares for used things https://www.rockleatruckparts.com.au/ my second tank for Fuso came with brackets and sender complete their stock keeping isn't spectacular and ultimately needs a visit. They let me lose in...

this is a totally enclosed disc brake (fluid fill I think) for mining application. For road requires certification. Not something I'd consider, but does suggest that a disc conversion is feasible...

I can relate to that Andrew .... I was in daylight, and it stopped on the handbrake - its the mental image of what could happen ..... :) handbrake probably not intended to allow rotation, shoes may be "glazed". if you find a grippier shoe material for the drums can you post please? front...

can't see the last three tapatalk images sikaflex to tie cross bit to roof bit, simson if its likely to get really hot

I stopped being embarrassed about my FG649 drum brakes a long time ago. They are rubbish. How they ever passed a brake test for the 285/70-19.5 tyres I can only put down to the test being not very exacting. A large part of the brake test seems to be how many times the pedal can be pressed...

I suspect its designed to damp vibration rather than be load bearing ..... translated - don't stand in the middle of the cab roof

on Canter FG649 with parabolics and 19.5" rims with Toyo 285/70 I have 250mm clearance from top of tyres to mudguards. mudguards are 6mm high density polyethylene. No marks from wheels hitting. the original bump stops don't get hit with parabolics. I've recently added 50mm of packing as I...

ATW modified a few with coils and watts linkage. mine is parabolics. its a long time ago ....... I paid a bit of attention to roll centre, roll axis, and centre of mass during box design. The suspension travel, even with a bit extra travel with parabolics, is such that the roll steer with...

certainly fair for me

no computer generated engine faults other than the turbo boost at altitude. The engine just worked. Whole vehicle generally reliable considering the conditions. King pin bearing, three broken wheel studs, broken spring leaves, slowed us a bit at various times. As did near fire (melted fuse...

of course, it would be nice to have one, predictable, limp mode, but its several - for example a different fault limits engine revs to 1500 rpm - if you like a different limp mode for each fault that needs one.

I discovered the running backwards fault when I had a flashing engine warning light due to low turbo boost at high altitude (4500 - 5000m). Caused a bit of confusion for a while. :)The ECU stores the last 5 fault codes but doesn't time stamp them. I deleted the fault codes and started again...

there isn't a limp mode as such. However, there are a few fault conditions that either stop the engine or limit it in various way. for example, accelerator switch problem limits accelerator opening to 30% there's even an error that stops the engine if the computer thinks its rotating...

computer control has occurred in two stages, old mechanical pump and injection control computerised control common rail computerised control my 4D34 in FG649 is the second, its computer controlled but not common rail

footprint ..... ? the larger the diameter the longer the footprint, the lower the pressure the longer the footprint and a little harder, the greater the difference between tyre diameter and rim diameter the longer the footprint (at same pressure and tyre diameter). Then of course there's a...

have you seen PM?

silly question ....... are the 305's part of the engineering cert for the 19.5 rims or is more work required, I ask because I need a new set of tyres and of course my imagination starts to work
