My idea is post it here as it Canter related and probably not of interest to anyone else. I for one don't go and look at the for sale section because there is nothing that is of interest to me there.

They have pretty much covered it (with pics) but yes if your shackle is straight up and down then it takes quite a hit to get it to move and that is felt in the seats. Mine are very much like Steve's and I have 75mm clearance from bump stop.
Hey Steve your diff breather line needs to be made...
Not caused by taking it off road. Like said it has just come undone, shouldn't happen but has. Unless there was other damage done to the box when it locked up, you wouldn't have needed to have it rebuilt because that is very little mileage for the box. Learn to work on the truck yourself, it is...
More goodies have arrived. Exhaust and air lines that I have to make to measure.
So still at it, the gears for my regearing are still two weeks away so Turbo install goes ahead.

While we are on this my thinking today is I wonder if the angle of the butterfly is what may be a problem. Creating not equal pressure on both halves !.
We will find out,
Dan.
No. When I converted Candy's there is no extra length in the movement of the cylinder to be able to change leverage point and it is adjusted to fully close.
You could be right but my take is that there is no pressure on the other side of the butterfly (actually possibly vacuum) and this is...
My take on this (lack of exhaust brake) is that the vacuum chamber is not strong enough to hold it closed. A way to find out if this is the case is set up a video camera to watch what is going on when you engage the exhaust brake. This is the same problem with Candy's Canter. I have been looking...
Bring it forward and come and join us, we are doing roughly 3 weeks up there. Taking in Zig Zag, May Town, Creb if open, Bloomfield, Frenchman's and of coarse the Old telegraph Track. There are a few others that we are going to look at as well.
Dan.
We will keep the vids coming. We are just organizing this years run (leaving Gladstone on the 7th August at this stage) and it will back up to the Top and finish our last trip. Candy's Canter is on the road just, we still need to change over the camp box and a few extras. It certainly is nice...
I've seen a dual cab Canter with a Turbo fitted above the manifold (standard setup) and there wasn't much room and a lot of heat was transferred to the floor (from the exhaust) as there isn't much air circulation up there. Fitting it under slung like I'm doing would take it further from the...
