Sent you a PM/conversation.

Hi - Ok $100 + shipping ? I havent seen a PM but havent gotten home yet to thoroughly check my account.

HI Yes they are still available. I sold my 60 3 years ago and so don't monitor this website much anymore and so I didn't catch your reply earlier. I will monitor it frequently for your replies now. The parts are still new in their sealed plastic bags. Never got opened or installed. As far as...

$100 + USPS flat rate priority (approx $28) shipping. Sold my 1983 FJ60 a few years ago, had this 555 brand steering linkage set still in my shop in original packaging. 555 brand is made in Japan.

This has been sold.

In 2019 I purchased this OEM "Toyoda" PS Pump for my 1983 FJ60. I sold the vehicle before I ever got around to putting on the pump. Purchased new from McGeorge Toyota for $307.89 in2019. Part number 44320-60071 Make me an offer, I think USPS flat rate express shipping would be around $28.

Worse because of the crack at the factory solder joint ?

That factory solder is a ton of solder, you really think I should re-solder ? The crack on the exterior may not necessarily be a leak; the heat may have simply melted some of the solder which was pulled in via capillary action even deeper on the joint. I dont know, just trying to justify not...

Ugh, Went ahead with the operation and on one of the pipes while soldering it accidentally fell (on the pipe), knocking it slightly out of alignment. Even worse, the jostling occured while the pipe was real hot and I think it messed up the factory pipe connection to the heater core. What...

Also, here are some pictures for those interested :

Oh Ok thanks, I didnt realize you had seen these pipes before- the heater core job isnt frequently tackled so I wasnt sure. Now that I look at the flanges again, I can see that I agree with you now as they arent perfectly flat up against each other, they sort of bend inwards to accomodate the...

Yes the problem is there are two flanges of equal diameter, and one pipe extends into the other. In my “typical copper pipe” (plumbing) at the top of my drawing, one pipe fits into the other and when soldering you have access to the point where the pipes fit into each other. With the heater...

Thanks but this doesnt really give me much I dont already know. My question is tough to explain without a visual so I will try my best again. My question was whether the solder will flow through adequately between the two equal flanges butted up against each other OR if I should solder in...

When soldering the brass pipes to the heater core as many suggest to do, do you leave a gap between the two flanges for the solder to get in or do you put the pipe flanges (of the heater core pipe to the brass pipe) as close together as possible (touching)? While not a professional plumber, I...

The PO had the speedo cable mounted with a zip tie right above the transfer case. This is where the “white thing” (my term) on the cable was mounted to. Is this correct ? I don’t want it mounted incorrectly, causing it to bend and twist in a bad way and have to replace it again. Can anykne ahare...
