1974 FJ40 heater hose & fittings needed

[FeralOne]

Mudsters,

I'm reconstructing my heater system in a 1974 FJ40. I need the fitting which goes into the engine block (F motor). Also looking for the Tee fitting that goes in the lower radiator hose. Both of these items seem to be scarce.

Heater hose should be easy to get at the parts store, I imagine...

Thanks,

Dave

I have a used lower rad tee from my 77. It has some pitting, but I think I rescued it before it went completely South--yours for the shipping--

I imagine www.marksoffroad.net would have the bits you need, but he's got a min order amount, I think around $80? You also might post in the wanted section or hunt the various MUD virtual bone-yards.

I'm not sure, but I kinda recall people making fittings that work using brass NPT pipe for the fitting in the head. I believe the newer style T fitting for lower rad hose is avail from Toyota. It's different, but works.

here is the tee, $35 sounds good for new

Thanks sggoat, I will order a new one since the cost is reasonable. I appreciate the offer!

You just need a brass hose tail for the head fitting. Take out the bung and match the thread at a plumbing shop. I think it will be 1/2" Bsp.
