Door handle restored. Thanks @Dallas Todd

The steel they used back then is superior to what we use today. These old parts clean up pretty nice.

Probably due to the high content of ground up battleships.

Here is the one I bought from BTB/Man-A-Fre in Nevada. Pretty easy install.

FJ40 FJ45 FJ55 BJ40 BJ42 FJ60 BJ60 HJ60 Brake Booster Master Cylinder Conversion Four Wheel Disc Wilwood 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984 - BTB Products - Land Cruiser Restoration and Parts

VERY EASY TO INSTALL, WILL MATE UP DIRECTLY TO YOUR FACTORY FIREWALL MOUNTING HOLES. THIS ASSEMBLY WEIGHS ABOUT HALF AS MUCH AS THE GM MASTER CYLINDER. THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE STRESS ON THE FIREWALL TO PREVENT ANY CRACKING WITH HEAVY OFF-ROAD USE. WILL COME AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO.

I think I am going to rebuild the transmission tunnel. I am swimming in space underneath this thing and it doesn't make sense to me to lose all of this foot space for no reason.

Your rack looks amazing! Great work!

 

[bmoonhajjar]

Thanks. A colleague of mine is an excellent woodworker. He did the heavy lifting on these. I swept the sawdust.

Got the windshield wiper assembly done. Thanks to @piecemeal and @hyhpe for the parts.

 

[piecemeal]

I disassembled that entire wiper assembly, cleaned the brushes, regreased all the shafts and gears, and reassembled before I sent to you. Did you plug it in yet on the vehicle?? It's amazing what a fresh paint job will do to a set of parts!!

 

[bmoonhajjar]

Not yet but I trust your work. Should work just fine.

 

[bmoonhajjar]

I wish someone would reproduce the caps for this wiper motor.

 

[mrboatman]

is it a snap on or 2 screws
