Dang, looking sharp! I am going to need to paint my console now. That looks so good!View attachment 2590326
Seven cup holder 62 console refreshed with SEM color coat.
I'm impressed with SEM. It isn't like any rattle can paint I've used. I didn't use the plastic prep but it seems to have bonded well. Graphite 15303Dang, looking sharp! I am going to need to paint my console now. That looks so good!
Where did you get those cup holders?View attachment 2590326

7 cup holders! Now the 100 series folks have nothing on us 6* guysBH3D printing. The one on the side is for a 60, but the '87 60's have 62 style consoles. I rigged it in place anyway.

The only thing "hyper tough" was getting all the oil to finally drip inside; cookie sheet might have worked better
After sitting in storage over 17 years the fuel gauge on my 86 FJ60 was no longer working. I pulled up the rear carpet and padding to get to the access cover for the fuel sender. Then I unplugged the connector at the sender and turned on the ignition. The FSM says check that the meter needle "vibrates" near 3.5 V. I assume the manual was written for a analog volt meter. My digital was bouncing all over the place from around 3-7 V but since it was around 3.5 volts I figured the gauge and wiring were probably good. Next I checked the resistance across the old sender and it was wide open. Think I found the problem. I cleaned the area around the sender to prevent anything from falling in the tank and replaced the sender. The replacement included a new seal and screws. With around 3/4 tank the new sender read 27 ohms. I plugged in the connector and bada boom the fuel gauge was working again!
Does anyone know why the voltage across the fuel gauge vibrates? That seems strange.
Now I need to figure out why the volt meter is reading low. The battery was resting at 12.48 V when the picture was taken. Any thoughts?
