Not sure if you are still around @wscbill but thank you for the incredible level of detail! Have a question to you or anyone else if I may: do you know which delete plate was used in the late models HJ47s (1983/4)? While you mention above that the 1983 delete plates are very rare I am wondering...

Hey @BTUMAN did you ever manage to hunt down that unicorn? Only found out about it now, not sure however if this was also used in the 83/84 dashes of the 40 series. Do you know? Cheers

Thanks. Next up is the table and slider that will fit under the roof rack. Wednesday!

OK, so I finally got round to mounting the iKamper tent to the custom roof rack (inspired by @Gamiviti), built locally in Cape Town. Hope you like it. Now, off to the veld!!

Where are they mounted? Inside the garnish / cap? One on each side?

Do you know what the clip 63394B is for by the way? Can't recall having had that. Also the fact that there is only 1 in the drawing leads me to understand that it is not related to the garnishes. Thanks

Thanks, dotting the i's and crossing the t's at the moment. Got a really cool custom roofrack made up - gorgeous!

Will do. The frustrating thing is I had them, but the car came back from restoration without :-( My OCD is in overdrive!!

Hi there @82cruiser ! Curious to hear if you managed to find these garnishes as I am also looking for them. Cheers

Cool, thanks! Are those chain couplers universal? Mine has a key way on the winch side.

More information from South Africa: 1. A dual language (English / Afrikaans) brochure with all technical information for the FJ45RP-K and HJ47RP-K models, so must be end of seventies, early eighties. Toyota only sold the LWB pickup models in South Africa, with some local CKD assembly happening...

not surprised. @tlaporte you worked on your Thomas a while ago didn't you? Do you have a closeup of the chain and sprocket? I have noticed that my chain is missing the connector/lock and cannot find info online on what it is supposed to look like. I prefer keeping the original chain. TIA

Of course/natuurlijk, but then the whole idea is to buy time. With the thief struggling to understand why it started but then cuts out, then trying to start again etc I hope that he will not have time to troubleshoot but will just run away! That presumes that the thief does not know these cars...

That is correct. Thomas did a lot of them for cruisers as well as rovers. They still supply parts apparently, although I didn't get a reply on an email I sent last week on the seals of the worm shaft

Thanks, do you think a read switch mounted behind the steel dash of my HJ47 would work? Would the magnet that I use to actuate the switch be strong enough (I could need one of those stronger molybdenum ones maybe?). I'm a bit concerned that the steel dash will throw off the magnetic field
