    Canter FG649 SWB Camper Truck Build

    I'll run with this one. Same size that we are running , at about the same weight.Brij runs lighter than us. It still depends on the brand of tyres as some are softer in the side walls than other. With Kuhmo KL71's on Hennys' Canter :- road - 45/50psi, corrugations - 35psi keeping speed down and...

    2007 FG clutch rumble?

    There is no spring, it has a captive head on the rod where it goes into the clutch fork (so can't fall out ). Like I said it is a passive clearance ( as in self adjusting ) on the bearing to fork fingers. If a spring was fitted then there would become too much clearance because it would push the...

    2007 FG clutch rumble?

    No adjustment at the slave on 2000 model. It is passive adjustment that it does itself. If you notice the slave cylinder is very long and the piston sits where it needs to with little or no pressure on the bearing. This is what I would do :- Start engine and depress clutch peddle - release -...

    Differences between 12k lb and 14k lb rated FG's

    Regear the Transfer Case and you will keep your low range (actually it will lower it some ) speed and gears up high range giving you better road speed. What do I know !!!, Dan.

    super singles, how many spares

    Suppose I should add that we do carry a comprehensive repair kit as well as tubes and sleeves for larger repairs. We also run directional tyres at times so 2 spares helps with that. No tyres is bullet proof as stakes know the right angle to do damage. I know because we use "wire armored" tractor...

    super singles, how many spares

    I carry 2 spares. Have had 2 flats in one day. Would I go remote with one spare even with other vehicles in the group - NO. Maybe just me, Dan.

    FG's in Action

    Nice video, really looks like a nice place to be. Water for a Canter doesn't get deep till it's at tray height if it is fitted out with extended breathers on diffs, gearboxes and fuel tank. It looks like a nice solid bottom. Dan.

    37" singles and rancho shocks for canter

    If you go back to one of my first threads where I was building up my Canter the Numbers will be there for Rancho 9000's. These though are for resprung axles and take into account the extra lift (at least 50mm) that we put in. I would believe that they would suit standard suspension as closed...

    37" singles and rancho shocks for canter

    I don't believe you need to go to 37' tyres to get your load rating. 2000 Canter I believe is FG637 and gross at 5,500Kgs. 315/75x16" 127Q rated will get you there and is smaller diameter so easier to pull. Then save for a Turbo and make a new vehicle out of it. Dan.

    Brake issues

    Rockhampton is just north of me and yes I will have to go there shortly so when I do Bramac will be on my list. I've dealt with them for my truck brakes. Any up grade I would certainly look at. ( You should know me by now.) Dan.

    Brake issues

    You would think that in the bulldust the brakes would just have locked up and then slide on the dust. I now need to do some testing on my brakes as I thought they worked quite well in that situation on hills. I did look at different boosters a while back and at the time there was a mob that...

    Brake issues

    Just for some information I believe I read somewhere that the 2WD canters had a larger size diameter brake booster. This would give you more brake pressure at the same peddle pressure and apparently having the same brakes. I think it was written in "Alans" Canter thread. Dan.

    There might as well be a limp mode then because it works very much the same. Dan.

    Fuso guidance!

    I thought all FG649 had common rail engines and therefore computerized. You may need to step back to a Fg637 which has the 4D33 engine and old school inline injector pump, 4.2litre, no computer (No limp mode) but you would need to turbo it as standard they came without. Run any fuel as long as...
