Somebody just posted nice side by side pics in another thread....

I thought Georg had a 40-series H55 top cover...those are the 4 speed tops right?

I believe those to be the 5-spd top plates.

But I have been wrong before...

 

[FJ40Jim]

They are 4 spd tops, but serve to illustrate the difference between FJ40/50 shifter location and FJ60/70 shift location.

I do have 40 series 5spd here and we're working on getting these top covers reproduced if we can do it cost effectively.
3D printing is amazing technology .....

And here's the 40 series version. These are pretty rare .....

And you're going to 3D print those top covers? That's amazing.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

if it is to be done in metal, then it will be more stereo lithography than 3d printing. Georg, there was a guy in Chat who bragged about having a 3d scanner; not that you needed any help...

 

[orangefj45]

One go my very good customers just purchased the equipment that can handle the job. But we still need to figure out how to handle the differences in the shift rails.

Senor Georg is the man!!

That would be amazing Georg - interested!

It's going to take a little "doin". First we need to finish three other projects that we started way before this:
FJ60 sag pump conversion bracket
Fj40/45 1HZ/HDT/HDFT/HDFTE engine mounts
Narrowed FJ60/62 rear housing for 40-series
But they're all in the works. I wish I had 2 days a week to set aside for R&D time but these perky customers keep bringing in cruisers for us to work on ........

georg needs to 3d print another georg...
you gunna work on a 62 sag pump bracket when all the rest of it is done? If so, sign me up

 

[orangefj45]

I've contemplated cloning myself ....... but I probably wouldn't listen to myself.

Lol

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

I am prolly the biggest arseole I know- it would be a tough relationship...more than a few black eyes, I'm sure.

The 62 uses the much better 84-newer minitruck PS pump, not the craptabulous FJ40/60 PS pump, FWIW. I wish there was an adjustable bracket to install 62 pump on 2F. Then it could stay w/ stock metric hose and 17mm belt, but dramatically increased durability.

 

[orangefj45]

Yup, the 62 pumps don't give any trouble. I think that's got a lot to do with them being moved away from the exhaust manifold as well.

so a mini truck pump fits the fj62 bracket? that's solid gold, right there...

Go start your own ps nerd thread!

Well, that cloned product would sell like discontinued cruiserparts!
Where do I place my bid? And how much food (read beer) does the clone need to work in my shed 24/7?

I think I've seen something about a plastic cup used on the oiler provision when mating a late split case to an h55f...?
Or am I dreaming?
