I talked to my local dealership today. Both the hardlines 47314-60160 (to 1986) / 47314-60161 (1986-90) are both discontinued and they say there is no reference on an successor or alternative. They are unwilling to do any research what other models part might fit. (They don't want to take the risk, I guess). They would source me any available part-no, on my risk, though. Looking at today's logistic situation (we just had that conversation here), it may take decades to get any part shipped.
I don't have enough knowledge on what later models had similar axle dimensions and brake setup, either, to come up with a parts-no.
I will check if I can find the 1 inch required to da a new flare on the old line somewhere; probably not.
I will then check with a local farming machinery shop on Monday. Having them do a new flare or fab a reproduction of tge entire line is possibly the leanest and fastest approach. What's good on a tractor will also suit a BJ7.
With a bit of luck I can make it to the wheeling event next weekend. Fingers crossed.
I will also talk to Allamerican Imports (NL). They are a specialized in Landcruiser. They might know.
Well, it's about the Knuckle Job part 2 today. Reassembling time.. Hope I don't break more stuff.
Cheers Ralf
Two determining factors:
1. Don’t look at part numbers as finite: for Toyota, they are an entry into its engineering.
2. Front and rear axle housings were pretty much the same width for a very long period of time. So you can determine what you need by merely measuring— you don’t need to get the same exact part numbers that were on your vehicle from factory specification.
And just because your dealer cannot get the parts, does not mean they are not available; you might have to look outside of your PMA (primary marketing area).
Try souring OEM parts from other markets.
Or, just make them yourself.
