If you could pull one out and take some accurate measurements, I could make you one.

This??

Still working on the 80...
So had to pull the upper plenum back off just before I torqued the new gaskets down due to a bad thread in one of the holes. Any how, one of the rear alignment bushing/spacers feel down into the frame area never to be seen again.
It appears it comes with the plenum and is pressed in.
Has anyone else encountered this and found a good replacement part?
This pic was borrowed from mud but the red circle is the bushing/spacer I looking to replace.View attachment 2579864

Thanks. I'll pull one tomorrow.

@GLTHFJ60
Appreciate the offer

@Roxx
Those are the fuel rail spacers in your post

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

I found the spacer, way down in the intake. I ended up buying a scope camera thingy and it had a magnet attachment.

So finally getting her back together. Almost there

I've done some spot checking and they tend to be a tad cheaper than Hendrick even, and have been a great sponsor of ONSC over many years.

Max will be getting the same drive line as Mary above so we'll be doing the motor mounts and cross member right after Mary

Got tired of having oil leaking all over the front of my motor.

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Finally installed my new to me fridge slide. The anodized blue isn't really my thing. I may have to take those pieces off and get them powder coated. Thanks for the slide @sleak , thanks for the fridge @yonah & last but not least, thanks for the
mudship @JohnVee

Well a test to see if the penetrating oil was working kinda spiraled. Got really lucky and didn’t break any studs.

It's never a simple job on these old vehicles. You got off real lucky on no seized hardware.
If you haven't already got some Kroil Penetrating Oil get some, it's the bomb for these old Landcruisers.

I’ve been meaning to grab some Kroil, I soaked these for a couple of days in pb blaster since I had it on hand.

This was the last thing to replace on my exhaust so it’s all new now. I need to clean the engine bay since these exhaust manifolds look so nice in comparison.

Did you paint it or did you yet coated?

I bought them already painted with VHT paint.
