Dale, have you tried a Canadian water can?

[Mike Cecil]

There are variations in the size of the 2 gallon can, especially between Australian manufacturers and again between Australian cans and the Canadian, as I think Euan is suggesting.

I published an article in Army Motors several years back which had a table of size variations. I think KVE might have republished it more recently? (Richard??....).

I don't remember the details of the sizes, but certainly worth looking for a foreign (CDN) can. The one you show is almost certainly an Aust made can - very basic folded handle, cast metal cap (probably not brass) with no provision for a chain keeper, top and bottom pressings the same three shallow depressions, etc etc.

Hi Mike,
Your article was in KVE News no. 15 and 16 ( 2 parts). not been able to get back issues on the new website yet, but will push for it. In the mean time, Dale, I can email these to you. According to a table of details of cans in Mike's article, the cans were 6 inches wide except for the Water can which was 6 3/8" wide. Is the stowage for a water can? If so the stowage is correct.

regards, Richard

Thanks guys . I'll do a better measurement tonight when I go home but looking at Euan's photo my tab is the same spot , looks like I need a 6 inch can . It would be great if I can buy a spare one off someone ! this way My carrier rear end is complete . Dale

Finished off the air filters yesterday , I used WIX WA6487 filters . I cut off the flange on the top with sharp knife , then made four cut outs on the bottom of filter this , make a nice tight fit , with no air gaps . Dale

Any tips to remove this , I have the hydraulic puller set up , but no movement yet . I have a NOS 8 point coupling on it's way to me so this needs to come off . Dale
