BY REQUEST- MY FG SWB (the 20 cent tour)

true
but not everyone has the abilty or resources to make thier own gear
mind you being able to self customise is handy with the amount of off the shelf gear for canters

my advise to MAB is have a bash
if you screw it up try again
eventually youll get it just the way you want it
also if you can do the woodwork get a trimmer to do the covering

The latest edition is a set of LED work lights mounted in front to act as "daytime running lights"
they come in handy for those long straight streches of desert road when oncoming traffic just doesnt seem to see you
being 3.5 meters high and 2.1 wide im not sure how thats possible but it happens
I was so impressed with them I also put one on each side mirror facing rearwards to use as camping / work lights perfect for night time tyre changes (touch wood)

I can answer that for you... it's a steering damper.
I have exactly the same one on my truck.

[fg4oz]

Why would my fg649 not have one?

[SkiFreak]

I'm sorry... I probably should have been a little more specific in my reply.
My FG84D has had a coil suspension conversion done by ATW. Part of that modification included the addition of a steering damper.
I do not believe that a steering damper is an OEM component on a Canter, which probably explains why your truck does not have one.

[bptp7270]

That's correct, the steering damper is not standard fare on the Canter although I reckon it should be. I caught the side of a log while doing a creek crossing in my previous 649 and the steering wheel spun so hard that I near broke my hand. I'm sure a decent steering damper would have slowed down the kickback a little. Perhaps this is why Blackduck has fitted one even though he is still on leaves?

Sorry for the late response Ben but weve been out at Lake Argyle sucking up the serenity.
Its an after market return to centre steering damper as has already been said
its been great at taking the wobbles out of the steering wheel and reduces the whip round effect on rough ground
ATW fit them on thier conversions
I manufactured a solid mount from 10mm m/s bolted to a crossmember and then to the steering rod
its a good investment
