I figured that was how to look at it. Any thoughts on what else would suddenly cause the bowl level to go all the way to the top? Other than grit in the needle?If it’s grit in the needle, you can see it by pulling the access plug above the seat. The 14mm one. Sometimes all you have to do is tap on the end of the needle with something small like a paper clip wire.

Did ash tray nobs change color? I wondered about this..Ashtray installed, using the unit from @cppilot plus the black handle from the remains of my original.

Driver’s running board and turn signal hub from @pardion arrived today. The running board will be test fit within a few days, but is bare, blasted steel now, so won’t be permanent until after paint. But I did install the turn signal hub, and took it for a short drive. Signals cancel properly now. Yay! Another thing off the “does not work” list.
Actually, I think the only thing not working (at least somewhat) right now is the horn. The original metal case Denso relay has a bad coil, so I need to find a replacement relay that looks reasonable there.

Don’t know. Mine is black, and so is the one that was on the ashtray Mark brought me. But his had one broken stud, and the nut on the other one was backed off and rusted solid. So swapping the knob with mine fixed it right up.Did ash tray nobs change color? I wondered about this..
Arne,
Agreed, I don’t expect perfection for old parts like this. Good is good enough. Plus, my goal for this rig is not perfection either. I want it to look nice, and essentially original, but not so pristine that I or a future owner will be afraid to use it. So again, good is good enough.Yeah, can’t get to picky when sourcing 50+ year old parts! Running boards lead a hard life! Glad it found a good happy home! Enjoying the updates!
No, mine is an early ‘64 FJ40. Some of us early 40 owners hang out here in the 25 forum. There are a lot of similarities between them.@oregon fj, do you have an fj25? I’ve never had the Quik Hinges on one and didn’t know that they would work on those trucks.
