It looks like it would press in just as the stock one seems to be. Stock one doesn't appear threaded.How is this installed?
After giving myself permission NOT to restore things and pretty them up, I went ahead and decided to paint some things.
I set up a paint area in my side yard area and busted out the HVLP and Blitz Black. The crossmember, skid plate, and clutch service cover were well-prepped for paint by the high-temp pressure washing. A wipe down with lacquer thinner and they were good to go...
This was my first time shooting with an HVLP paint gun. A bit of a learning curve. A few runs on the skid plate and crossmember.
But nailed it on the service cover.
Did this with a cheapo gun from Harbor Freight that got decent reviews on the net. Perfect setup for quick/easy stuff like this... and yielded better results than spray paint.
Nice job on the paint work. Looks great!After giving myself permission NOT to restore things and pretty them up, I went ahead and decided to paint some things.

Georg is the best.
I very nearly learned this the hard way...but caught a break managed to get it all situated.Heads up.... the shaft that this attaches to WILL fall into the case where you can’t grab it without a strong magnet. When you reassemble everything put a flag of tape on that bare shaft so it doesn’t fall and have a strong magnet on hand in the event that it slips while you’re installing the linkage.View attachment 2615094
I have no idea what it is. I don't own a 70 series by the way but do have 2 80 series. I found it when unpacking after a camping trip.

Someone solved the mystery!that right there is a BMW socket bushing,,, (european cig lighter plug)
Never did reply to this!enjoying the thread Honger,,,,
Maybe I missed it, but where are getting your oem parts? Local toyota dealer?
Yeah, I looked at buying new dash pieces... but it wasn't going to be cheap. And getting all of them one color was going to be hard which meant some sort of painting/refinishing anyway. The ABS is remarkably non-brittle still, so I figured I'd just fix and refinish what I have.Nice to see the dash stuff, mine are roached and i'll either need replacement or try my hand at repairs
There's several of us with Omani Troopies around here... @c2dfj45 (he lucked out with a 1FZ) and @MES have also pulled theirs from there. What they don't have in rust they usually make up with dodgy wiring and a well-dented rear floor area.Not yet, it's coming, its your twin actually, 3f from Oman. That's part of the reason I'm enjoying your thread.
