Thought I was making pretty good progress, running / head lights working good (with the exception of no park lights - only full lights but I'm pretty sure that is my old switch I'll deal with later). I am trying to hook up the turn signals and bypass hazard lights completely.
From the stock...
I am trying to get my throttle linkage hooked up - throttle cable just came today. I dug the linkage kit out that came with the carb (photo below of the pieces included in the linkage kit). I've searched and found a bunch of Weber info including linkage issues, but I can't figure this out...
My 40 has been completely gutted and the years of patch job wiring removed (i kept the connectors and switches). That being said, I have some basic questions about a painless setup. They provide a 70 amp "maxi fuse" for use with high output alternators. While I don't have a high output...
I have slop in the steering column, obviously missing a part (or more) - searched through my boxes of parts and looked at diagrams but can't figure out what's going on. There is the bracket to nothing shown in this picture right where steering column goes into steering box. Help please. Thanks.
I've searched for a good diagram on reinstalling my bench seat (driver side) and it appears I need the part shown below in the diagram (SOR says discontinued). I'm a bit clueless as the seats were already out when I bought it. Questions are is there some sort of gasket or padding that the seat...
Some of you may have read my ongoing soap opera with a local shop....

I have a few mudders helping me out / faxing receipts of similar work they've had done.
I am searching for anyone who may have old...
Yep, got my bill for the motor swap too....Supplied a SOR rebuilt 1F, they had my old blown 1F, and supplied all the misc parts to put the new 1F in. How much $ strictly labor would you expect for them to install new 1F and get it running?
Just got my bill for 3spd transmission / transfer rebuild at a local shop. I bought the rebuild kits and provided, strictly labor. What would you guys think is fair cost wise to rebuild it?
I did a search but can't find anything on whether anyone has ever installed shocks on the hood to replace the stick / prop. My hood leans since there is only a prop stick on one side - and, well, I'm anal and it's bothering me :flipoff2:. Was that stock setup - driver side prop only? Has...
Some shots of my FJ40 (in pieces) being rolled into soda blast makeshift tent (mobile soda blast outfit). Soda blasting body, sandblasting frame.
Will follow up with after shots later.
Has anyone purchased a reman motor from SOR? If so, would you do it again? I picked up a '72 with a blown (more like cooked) F motor and I'd like to keep the 3 speed / F motor original setup. The motor has already been rebuilt and is pretty much shot. Any other suggestions / options?
Absolutely no point to this post other than the fact it makes me tingle when I see how nicely (IMO) my seats turned out. Stripped them down, sandblasted, powdercoated, and reupholstered (front using SOR kit, rear jumps were custom made covers / cushions). Not earth shattering stuff, I know...
