Cowl vent panel replacement ? (1 Viewer)

[inkpot]

Oooor I’m gonna finally do something with the couple hundred JIS Vessel #1,2&3 bits I’ve had sitting on my shelf and then press them into an aluminum knob handle that was anodized and THEN laser etch the Wits’ End logo onto

Edit: and maybe do a red version with TEQ logo

Wish I'd thought of THAT!

 

[Mr. Lawrence]

As I'm catching up on deferred maintenance on the 80, I've noticed slight dents on the same panel the OP stated. I'm assuming the panel available comes primed only? So with small irregularities they may be able to be repaired, at least I'm hoping.

I'll add it to the "to do" list to at least remove it and do some thorough cleaning.

BTW, I have something similar to this, should do the job.

Welcome to Sears.com - Sears

Yes, the panel comes primed only.
Part number is at beginning of this thread. Dents can be removed but panel not too pricey so chose to just swap out for new piece and perhaps fix up the original for a spare
That red stubby is exactly the Vessel 920 P225, just Toyota marked. As for the Sears tools, I think they are not JIS so may not be a good fit for the screws here.
Vessel has a similar set as this (part # TX-11) and should have the correct bits. Thanks again.

If you could etch my name in one as well? Enough bloody tools go missing around here it might make them think twice!!

It’s a large surface so no prob adding your name

Can you also color match the anodizing to our paint?

In most cases no. Anodize has a finite number of color options. Powder coat has more options.

It’s already moving forward. I’m doing a press fit design for dedicated JIS bits and a magnet design for universal 1/4” bits. I have several bags of the Vessel bits already that I’ve had for over a year now that was original going to be used with my card tool. But that one has taken too long to develop.

Can you make them like a mood ring? You know, just so I can test my state of pissed off before ****ing something up?

I think a need to start a new thread but this is why I cherish my junks of “free time”.

Can anyone tell me the size of the long thin screws for the cowl cover?. I believe there are five or six. Can't find a description anywhere and have lost, misplaced or eaten mine. Ordered a new seal and need to do it right.

Thanks.

tiny screwdriver for the cowl plate screws might be 09041-1C150. On my 80 some of them are not philips/jis head but require a small m8 spanner but then again I don't have a proper tool for the philips/jis type other than 'standard' hardware store stubby philips head one. The very short stubby Toyota one (probably jis not philips head) is I think 09041-1C101.

Take a quarter inch stubby ratchet with a 1/4” socket installed and stick the bit into the socket. It’s better than any stubby screwdriver.
