'92 SX5 If you have either the Master or Slave, you may be the last shop on the planet stocking them, I'd be interested to know if you do!

Thanks for the info! Can you clarify: is this an alternative that works, or what would be used as a replacement of original? My parts resources are telling me there are NO Master cylinders available based on a parts number search from manual. Is your Prado a '92? If this is an acceptable...

Appears my Master and Slave cylinders have finally succumbed to age and use. Replacing the Master with original parts does not seem to be an option any longer. Has anyone been successful with swapping for parts from other years or models....or know of a good rebuild kit?

I'm curious what the outcome was for you on this issue? I am also considering a non-electric pump due to smoky-chokey starts. TIA!

Haha! You’re hard core!

I have a spare.... Original 16"x6" wheel. Where are you at?

I just realized I hadn’t responded… your feedback was spot on, it turned out to be the fuel pump primer. My mechanic figured that out shortly before I had the opportunity to ask him if it was the issue keeping it from running. So now it runs but is super rough and lots of white smoke on...

GTSSportCoupe, do you have any words of wisdom on most efficient way to chase possible bubbles/blocks/leaks in fuel system? The pump is working and timed properly and there is fuel flowing thru the filter.

First question: Has anyone had troubles with fuel injection system after dis-assembly for head replacement? My rig is currently at mechanic for replacement of cracked up 2LTE for a 3L head and can't get the fuel injection system settled back in. Timing has been inspected...

Since the installing mechanic hooked it directly to the battery, the wire is already thru the firewall. If I connect to the small fuse box under the hood, do I connect to the IG stud or the IG fuse with fuse tap so it is fuse protected?

So I finally got a pyrometer installed (3 days before the head cracked anyway, go figure) … I suppose I’ll keep it. When the mechanic installed it he wired it directly to the battery. I prefer it to get power with ignition and am planning to jump an existing fuse. I figure I’ll use a spare in...

Ahhh...I see, I actually was the one to misunderstand. I did not catch that those are two different numbers/products. I made an assumption that a seal requiring lockstrip would come with lockstrip (and would be included in parts photo)...pardon my ignorance, but is lockstrip a generic product...

That part number is the one I have already found. Was hoping for one with the silver lockstrip, but I guess I need to kiss that wish goodbye and simply be thankful it's still a sweet rig. Thanks!

Rolling a LJ78: Does anyone have a parts resource for a replacement windshield seal/gasket with lockstrip? Mine has sprung a leak which is a bit of a super inconvenience in Oregon! Would love to keep the original look of the seal with silver lockstrip. I am only able to find generic strips so...

It's been a hot minute since I bugged you about speakers....I still haven't had luck finding replacements, so I am considering a rebuild like you did. The link to resources you provided in your post no longer works though. Can you send me info for speaker and bulb resources...with specific info...
