PM sent. Cheers, Rob

Perfect - thanks! I don't suppose you can supply a pedal suitable for this set up? LHD 1983 GCC spec. The one I purchased is for 73'-78' models I believe and the crank is the wrong angle, and little bit too long so the carb linkage rod wont reach. P/N: 78102-90801 is what I'm after. Btw its the...

Hi All, I'm trying to find out where the hand throttle cable would mount when the factory AC controller is fitted; it seems to occupy the soace that the hand throttle bracket would normally go. Does anyone know if this combination ever existed out of the factory?

Yes, good spot. I’ve just rebuilt the steering column and was waiting to sort the steering box before reconnecting it all up.

Thanks for the offer. I’ve tried to capture the set up as required… It’s a FJ40LV-KC GCC specs. P/N for the box should be 44110-60022, if that helps.

Hey, just wondering if anyone has any tips on removing lash in power steering box on a 1983 FJ40. I know the manual ones can be adjusted for preload, but not sure if these can. Before I remove heat shield to have a look for signs, can anyone confirm? I’ve rebuilt steering rack and linkages, so...

What would you suggest? it has a pretty good spec, minus a winch...

Perfect, exactly what i was after...many thanks

Thanks.. @ToyotaMatt do you know the bulb type?

Yes, these seem similar to what i have in mind - how do you find the weight of them? I wondered how all that unsprung mass will effect steering etc. I've read various things about tubeless tyres with tubes, but it seems the consensus is that its not worth it. I'm planning a long road trip, circa...

Yes I think you might be right - a little trip across the boarder might be in order. Thanks for your suggestions so far

Yes I had hoped to get the lower ply rating versions, but unfortunately they only have he 14PR in stock. There really is a limited supply of decent tyres in the size here, and i cant justify spending ~1000usd plus postage on the City Racer tubeless replacements. Unless something else comes up, I...

Yes, thats a possible solution - I'm family free from July so will have the time for such a trip. I'm still intrigued to see if anyone put something as heavy duty as the M857 Bridgestone on a 40?!

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I believe they are heavy truck tyres - they certainly look pretty heavy duty in the shop. They are 14 ply i think - maybe a little too heavy duty?! I've looked at the SP Qualifiers, but unfortunately no one stocks them here in 7.50R16 tube type - only available in...
