    fuso 4x4 rebuild

    Hi Alan So sorry to hear about your wife and that this prevents you both enjoying your fabulous FUSO build - must be heartbreaking on several fronts. I only know too well how you must be feeling, because I also built my own Fuso Canter motorhome (FG84) and also my wife is struggling with cancer...

    fuso 4x4 rebuild

    Hi Alan It's been a while since I last checked the progress of your mammoth project - mate it's coming along very nicely indeed.

Anyway on both trips, the AGMs failed (open circuit). On each occasion I replaced them with straight HD...

    Hi Kookynet Ive recently completed my build of a motorhome on a FG84 2010 canter and I'm doing all the research on single rim conversion. I also want 16 x 8 rims - gives more options. Ive come up with a drawing to work out offset - basically the stud disk needs to be roughly level ith the...
