Maybe there's something lost in translation here. I'm looking for a side tappet cover. This looks like a valve cover?

Does anybody have a part number? Mine is out and I can't seem to find another. I have found some 12 volt ones and would venture a guess there is no difference but I want to make sure before I order one.

I ended up just using the one I had instead.

I need a new radiator, the old owner had tore off the mounting brackets and it was only set into the cradle resting on the bottom tank! I looked at champion cool. I've used their stuff before and I was very happy with the quality built in the US, 100% aluminum (no plastic tanks), TIG welded...

I have the bottom felt and the bushing from the battery tray. What I don't have is anything that holds the radiator into the cradle. It appears my side brackets on my radiator are no longer there. Is there any kind of rubber that goes on the bottom of the radiator or is it just those brackets...

I'm working on my BJ42. I started to notice there is nothing holding the radiator into place inside the cradle because the two hoses? It's just put into the metal cradle with no bottom bushings, top tie downs or anything from the side. What is supposed to hold it in place and what is supposed...

Looking at yours I guess that's pretty much how mine is. I just suprised by the big gap between the two seats......... Now I have to figure out if I want to put the bench I have on the passenger side and passenger has no headrest, put it on the drivers side potentially crowding the driver, or...

Ok got a pic in a little better light.

I'm planning to call tamco tomorrow and figure out a plan. It sounds like their "monocoat" is basically like a UV resistant version of POR15. Their HP5311 looks pretty good as it's an epoxy primer and their say it's a very high build similar to polyester primer. I will have to figure out...

It sounds a little silly and I don't think it's dramatic. But the wind rolling over the smooth surface of a car can make a big difference. It's enough for racers to notice the difference between a dirty and clean car. I'm not sure anybody ever put a bj42 and a racer in the same sentence but...

It has to be the left hand side because where the tilt lever and headrest is. I didn't think of it coming from a RHD though. Plus I don't think it's long enough to pair with a regular bucket seat because there would be a big gap between a bucket seat and this one. The other match for this...

Interesting. Mine is from canada but maybe the previous owner got some sheet metal from japan................ I took a few pics but you can't tell from the pics.

So after about 8 hours of reading threads on turbos I've decided to post a question specifically about flipping the 3b manifold. Most people have touched on the concept of flipping the stock manifold. It seems most people opt for the 13b manifold instead. But as the old saying goes...

I picked up a set of long style rear jump seats for my 81 bj42. They are in great shape, got a good deal, and prefer them over the one single rear jumpseat. As part of the deal it also came with one side of a front bench seat. I wasn't really looking for a front bench as my buckets are in...

So this is kind of odd. I bought a bj42 project. It's in pretty good shape, pretty low rust and it was the right price. It wasn't until I got it home I notice the quarter panels a little over halfway down to the wheel wells are flared outward. It's barely noticeable but there is two...
