KFJ45

A little late but here’s some pics of what I did with the brushes for reassembly. First, have the wire loop ready to place over the brush and the holder. Next install the spring and use a pick to hold spring in, insert brush and place wire loop...

Nice rig! This is the closest I’ve found to my 1978 Aussie FJ-45, currently being put back together after a full frame-off resto

Thanks, here’s some more pics. Currently pulled apart in the shed while I’m working on some rust repairs, heater box refurb, fuel tank refurb and prep for seats. Tyres are 7.50R16’s on repainted steel split rims. Original 2F with 51458kms on the...

G’day! Bought my 40 almost a year ago and have consulted Mud numerous times for info and realised I should just join! Mine needs a list of stuff done for me to get it road registered which I’m working through. My 40 is not going to be a daily...

I restored the inside mirror, the tool bag and the sun visors...

All together and impatiently waiting for the snow to melt so I can drive it!

Bracket towers difference in size (small ones vs taller ones (pictures) … po used a combo of both when he could have just ordered 4 tall towers to make it so both sides connection points actually fit up to bracket connection… so I ordered 2 more...

I have a 76 fj40 that has years of questionable wiring. We have replaced just about everything but the engine and starter. It was running, not great, with the original carb, I don’t know how. It was a mess. Replaced that and it helped till it...

Hello! I'm new and in the middle of gathering all the missing parts (and there are a LOT) for my 03/1976 FJ40. After searching the forums, I'm uncertain whether I need an igniter. I bought it with no coil, no ballast resistor, and (apparently) no...

@KFJ45 …we can’t be too far from one another…. When your up for company..drop me a line.

No worries. Appreciate it nonetheless. As they say: “I’ll get it sorted” 😂

Had a look and I don't have the box from the master cylinder any more. I guess that's what happens when you start purging and throw out stuff you don't think you'll ever have a use for. :oops:

A few more. The replacement floor under the drivers seat I made myself and just bead rolled it.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I saw an ad for one the other day from down under also. May have To go that route. Mine is the same. FF Rear, 3 inch brakes and the 1 1/8 bore on the MC. But at the time SOR swore they were sending me the correct one...

I like your knee protection pads. Been there, done that.

Where did you source your Master Cylinder? Mine came from SOR and it has the slanted reservoirs. My originals are like yours. Thx, Ken

Hey Man, beautiful job. But don’t feel bad I’m 9 years in and like you, I’m back at it and hopefully a few weeks away from a restart. Full frame off resto, 1978 Aussie FJ-45. I also plan on a build thread as we get into the nitty gritty of...

I rebuilt the heater box over the weekend with a little surprise in the pics. I know the upper is not Grey. Trying to decide which color I like better. Not a fan of the grey color myself.
