You can adjust your wheels stops.

Call Georg at Valley Hybrids, ask him to build you a kit using FJ60 knuckles and swap onto your existing axle housings. Youll be much happier than one of the kits that use Chevy junk. @orangefj45

Like many of you I've fought with installing a rear tank. It came down to how often I needed the extra fuel vs. the cost of doing the install and trouble. I decided not to go the extra tank but be able to carry the extra fuel when needed. This...

If you think your driver bit is slipping back in the screw slots, add a dab of valve grinding compound into the slots. The abrasive of the valve grinding compounds adds some extra bite which just might do the trick.

Pictures of what you have would help, things change with time and models.

See if Procar can send you a fabric sample.

Looking at body mount kits it appears they were the same from '58 to '78. Then apparently changes were made and stayed the same from '79 to '84. Maybe someone else can fill in more details and what the changes were.

Just an update here! Thank you all again for the guidance and advice. Unfortunately the dealer was unable to get the title cleared and could only get a rebuilt title, SCDMV would not budge. While I was waiting for this, I did scout the...

Check out my post #19 in this thread.

Could it possibly be the brake light switch?

Best picture I could find of how I handled mine. This was from 2015 when I switched over to EFI. Original '73 had the manual valve and not a cable actuated valve. I originally found a cable valve at Pick A Part off a GM vehicle I believe...

I cut out my wiper gear box gasket today. Pretty close. I scanned the old gasket then uploaded as image to the cricut software. I used 1/32" gasket paper and set the cricut on kraft paper.

Will do.

Closing out this thread. The problem was a grounding issue. While I prefer powder coating over painting, the one problem with it is grounding. The inside of the casing and the ends cannot be powder coated. The starter needs direct contact with...

I contacted Aero Tank back on the 24th. I got a reply from James "Jake" Selders who said he would send me a copy on Monday. As of today I've not received the install instructions and their web site doesn't seem to provide them as well.

Can't you remove the spacers and knock out the factory studs, then replace them with longer ones? I think all you need to clear the calipers is .25" spacer unless that won't work with your wheels offset. I think I would source longer studs if you...

If you are looking for an all original FJ-40 then take the refund and continue looking. If you are just looking for a driver with a certain look or options and this meets you desire then keep it and take the discount. Just because it isn't all...

Welcome to the madness!

It might help to know exactly which LUK clutch you installed. They make several kits and support Corvettes with LS7's that produce 505 HP. It might also help if you have any pictures of how the center section failed.

I went to the web site and it was a little confusing. It says the tank is for a Toyota but the category is Ford. It would be nice if there is more detailed information on the site.

Around 1995, the PO of the Karma Cruiser had me replace the glass runs and perimeter weatherstripping on the front doors. Like most early 40s, the lower door skins had stress cracks at the pressure points where the tracks from the upper door...

I'd be looking for another gear and the one it runs with. You have it apart, fix it correctly and be done. Otherwise it could break at any time and take out more stuff and perhaps strand the rig.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't look that bad to me. Rather than cutting and welding the frame, which I think would involve fish plating the repair (which makes it obvious the frame was repaired) why not take the frame to a shop...

As classic vehicles are getting harder to find more and more companies are producing replacements. You can build a new 57 Chevy from all new parts, or even a first generation Bronco, or even a 356 Porsche. Are they an original no but do they...

Day long soak in Evapo Rust or a similar product.
