Square bezel puts it in 1980 plus era.

Needs smaller bolts, and ill add a rib in the middle for support. This is flexible material so its not breakable.

In summary, So far, I have been able to remove the existing old dash pad for replacement without lowering the windshield or raising the roof. I did destroy my old dash pad by tearing it apart to understand how it was put together. I believe I...

I responded in your other post. Here's what I mean by raising the top and using 2x4"s. The 2x4's are long enuff to reach across the tub. I removed the rear doors, and the mounts on the windshield frame. There is a set screw/bolt on the B...

It is off my ‘82. Feb build date. The picture is vague on the mounting holes.

Ill send you my addeess

As mentioned in other thread. I should be able to loan this out, if it will help you and others.

Maybe we can work something out if you need One to scan.

Finally made some progress on getting the bench seat fully mounted. I've had the driver's side sorted for a while, but thanks to the fuel tank, the passenger side has been more of a challenge. But I think I finally got something fabbed up that...

Hi, new here and new to fj40’s. Looking forward to asking stupid questions and talking advantage of all of your experience. I’ve always been a bike man, so what i know about 40’s you could more or less write on the back of a stamp. Cheers. Dicky

Russ, I had a thought. I chopped up another fender apron yesterday to use the sheetmetal on another welding project. The top of the apron has a rolled lip that tucks in under the hood, and the radius looks like it would fit on the top of the...

Check out the gas tank well, has 2 hole in front of the shifter??? I removed tons of bolts and only one broke in the trans tunnel amazed how they look new in the threads. Paint is cherry under dash pad. Check out the baby Swampers, 28x8.50x15...

I got it out and pressure washed just about everything….. there’s not any rust… first time I ever pulled a fuel tank and found no rust under it!. My choice would have been clean it and leave it alone, but….. My friend had stripped everything you...

Friend found this in a Culdesac in McKinney thaw house had a 2 car garage with a one car attached. He had never seen the one car opened in ten plus years. One day he noticed it up, and spotted the front end of an FJ40. It took a couple of years...

Id like something about 4 ft. To go on the front of the new shop over the door.

Sometimes I try to tighten first before loosen. Call me crazy, but it has worked. Heated and not. Just a tap or two with impact.

I posed the question of whether anyone had seen a repository of information on OE hardware manufacturers and approximate manufacturing timelines. Not much response. But while the majority of folks are content to reassemble their projects with...

got a free fiberglass top-but in Fla. It's rough,but serviceable with some roof rack hole plugs and paint--pics if interested, maybe mudship?

I've been procrastinating on this repair for a while now, partly because I hate doing things twice. When I bought this 40, it had a nasty tear in the right fender. I hammered it back into shape and then welded it up, but unfortunately I got a...

If you need it, I will deliver it to you! LMK.

I recently purchased a non running 40 which I’m ecstatic about as it’s been my dream car, but I’m pretty inexperienced when it comes to all this as this is my first project car. I’m looking for some advice on a couple questions. First off I...

Not really. You could search door cards or something like that. Some vendors sell aftermarket ones. You could easily make up a set.

I've used the Concrete and metal prep that @aztoyman linked to and it works fine. I think it has phosphos in it. I usually use it after doing electrolysis or some other initial rust removal like sanding to help to stop flash rust and prep for...

Some Middle East pics...
