Just following up with my experience with Knox. I ordered a LHD kit for a 76, knowing I would need to cut down the length, at a minimum for my FZJ70. The quality of the carpet was quite good to my eye, and the mold held up well in shipping. If I...

@Reedys , Turbo Light isn't a function of RPM, but Boost. I believe the light comes on at about 1.6psi of boost, which may correspond to 2000 RPM ish. There is a short Vacuum hose from the Intake Manifold to a sensor... change if you have a doubt.

If you already bought a new slave, I’d recommend putting it on. It takes about 10 minutes to install, and you can even do it yourself. You will be kicking yourself down the road if that salvaged unit craps the bed in the middle of nowhere.
