Seems like a very ambiguous regulation, is there any performance testing involved? A bit of useless info but in NZ, the equivalent certification involves multiple stops from 100km/h within a specified time period to test brake fade. Hence people often run a very aggressive brake pad and some...
Did my first rebuild of a full float hub. Years ago I bought a fully floating rear axle for my 75 FJ40 - the axle was from an FJ45 I assume. The 40 recently started locking one rear wheel under light braking which is real fun in the wet 😨 Turns out one of the brakes was full of a grease / diff...

Nice to see another Cruiser in the southern hemisphere getting some love.
Just a note about Wattyl Killrust. I have used it in the past on my 40 and found it doesn't adhere very well and flakes off easily. That is the rattle can stuff, haven't tried brushing or rolling. Recently I tried POR15...
With stock mounts in the rear on my 75 FJ40, I have found the 10" Bilstein 5125 to be the correct size. It rides nice with the 255/70 valving, though I can only compare to my old worn out shocks.
I have ordered 8" 5125s for the front, again with stock shock mounts, hopefully my measurements...
