Test print of some custom knobs. The next step is to print them in the correct high temp black resin. Grey is just for fit check before printing in the higher cost material.

Got my new exhaust put on with the 3FE manifolds I recently installed.

Ended up merging both exhaust manifolds at bell housing then using a band clamp /connection then ran it over skid plate to muffler located behind rear axle, exiting in out the rear on pass side .

Was able to install factory heat shields tight but they fit.

Next up is to install the 90 degree fittings on my oil filter lines. I was able to procure them from "75fj40Toy" who was nice enough to send to me. Thanks again!

Then I will be removing the 32/36 Weber and installing the freshly rebuilt original carb/ air cleaner. Thanks "Pinhead" for your videos detailing the rebuild process.

Am waiting on new throttle cable and fuel line nuts from "ToyotaMatt " before I can install it.

I’ve been playing with the Orion since October as time (and skill) allowed. It’s back in seems to be holding gear. So what else do you do? Go play in the slush on a 55* day. 35” mt’s are exciting in slush. Stayed out of the ditch, but it was close.

Picked the kid up from school while the weather held. He’s still not sold on the cruiser, but he lets me have my fun.

Let me know how you make out in getting one for the fender, I am also looking, was supposed to be getting one from Toyota Matt but he never got back to me🙄


I don't believe @ToyotaMatt has them anymore but try these guys-shipping from Austraila took 5 days to US:



Please take a moment and read carefully my LAST post in my DATA ID Plates and Engraving service Small Business Store Front Thread now locked and dormant

POST # 125



it may explain a bit why i don't mention or speak of the data plates i so passionately loved to hand craft for everyone so long ago it seams


thanks ..........


 
Finished install of rear heater with electrical. Installed 2 speed switch in dash (bloody knuckles) and ran wire harness back to heater. Also, finished up with double hose brackets from McMaster-Carr and trimmed rear cargo mat to accommodate heater. Thank you to Toyota Matt for parts and technical support.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. Replaced some parts, gaskets, and spruced it up a bit.

New water pump, fuel pump and fuel filter, new thermostat and painted the housing. Replace the timing cover gasket and seal. Painted some odds and ends. All this happened because I needed to tear apart the cooling system. Oh, new hoses there. Belts, fan and fan clutch. All the new stuff looks nice.

Also, it was time to do some things on the inside, too. Had the seatbelts re-webbed with new regulators. And I painted the metal seat backs, rear heater, and other grey things.

Is that your handy work making the preheat flange? That’ll last longer than the original!

@ToyotaMatt too late sir, that switch is now officially designated as the Golden shower knob. The votes have been tallied.
