    Is AC idle up valve meant to vent open?

    I was testing my AC Idle up, and while it was engaging, it was not consistent or strong enough(FJ62 Manual). I then 'bypassed' the AC Idle up Valve and found plently of suction to engage the suction cap switch. I found I was loosing pressure in the AC idle up valve, and some testing found that...

    3F Carb Draining issue

    So this seems to be a common issue. I've read about 10 different posts on it, and affects 2F's as well. It seems some great idea's from Okie rebuild, to replacing seals, or doubling up on seals or polishing bits. BUT I cant find a single thread that end's in "Well that fixed it!" Issue, Carb...

    Most difficult Job on a 60

    I reckon we should have a competition for the most difficult job on a 60, because its a 60 (not talking cracking a thermostat bolt). My vote is to install the AC Idle Pully Nuts (or even adjust the thing). Aus series 3F. I wanted to tighten the AC belt as it was squeaking, and stupidly turned...

    FJ62 fuel line help

    I seem to have an extra pipe I cant connect. The metal pipe adapter shows 6 pipes on the internal (in-cab) side, but only 5 on the Fuel tank side? The fuel tank also has 5 connections! So where does the 6th pipe go? (it comes from the top of the breather apparatus!). Its the pipe on the...

    brake line with 2inch lift

    Hi everyone. putting everything back together. I fitted a 2inch lift via the leaf-springs. I reconnected the rear brake hose and it looks like this. The Cab is separated from the chassis, so it has no weight on it, and I guess near its longest travel. But is this too tight for unladen...

    Resto work. Should I use clearcoat or just basecoat?

    So I'm doing frame-off resto of a white (033) FJ62. I'm using PPG 2K paint (car is in sanded primer at the moment). This is not aiming for concourse level, and the cruiser will get real-world use. The guy I got the paint from said I don't need to apply clear, as its a 4wd and solid colour...

    Leafsprings, too short/cant reach shackle

    So I have the Cab separated from the chassis, so essentially a bare chassis, not tanks/nothing. I changed my leaf-springs, cleaned/painted everything. Now I'm putting the leafsprings back on the chassis, I have got the pin-end in, but the shackle end is 2-3inches short of the shackle. Some...

    Builds  Barons white FJ62 log

    This is the first in a Build thread for an FJ62. A bit of background. Aussie based build thread. 3-4 years ago, got the FJ62. It was drivable, and looked good. I knew it had rust and spent the first 6 months, fixing the obvious. New rear brakes, fixed clutch issues, some paint repairs, lots...

    Asking for some advice. I have a small bit of rust starting on the edge of the seam on both fenders. Its appearing as just surface style at the moment (right on the edge of the seam, not the holes, thats easy to fix). I have another vehicle with full on holes in exactly the same spots, along...

    Seam Sealer Question

    So this white goo, its on the bulkhead, and around fender (the pic is the bonnet hinge). You have to remove it do do things like remove the fender etc. Its white (and on the inside, but I suspect its also been painted), but that could be because my 62 is 033white. Its also pretty hard, but can...

    No, I'm not getting old!!! I've been slowly taking the old Nuts out of the FJ62! (engine bay, seats, bumber bars etc). I run them through a bath of Evaporust, which cleans them back to near new again. But, when I put these back on! They instantly start rusting again (within 1 month), with...

    Rear Tray Screw wont Screw!

    So FJ62, rear tray! I took one of the spring arms off to clean and de-rust. The XL large phillips screw that connects into the tray came out ok, but wont screw back in. I feel that it may have had something internal that it was screwing into, which has now fallen out? Does anyone know how...
