It would depend on how you are running belts. The a/p belt goes around water pump and crank and that is why it is used as a tensionerMy question: Is the tensioner needed?
So if I understand this cor
Been a minute since I studied this, now I get it. Two belts.It would depend on how you are running belts. The a/p belt goes around water pump and crank and that is why it is used as a tensioner
Ok. I thought you had recommended redundancy with the belts? If not needed I’ll delete the green belt and the tensioner bracket. ThanksWith that set up I would do away with the green belt
Apparently when they deleted the hi/low dash mounted shift, which had linkage on the right they simple used the same holes to mount the Slave Cylinder. The SC lines up with the holes.
That makes sense.These were always set up for the clutch slave cylinder. The high low linkage only used one of the threaded openings. Many markets had floor shift transfer cases back to the start of the FJ40. Those the clutch slave cylinder was on the right side.
No plans atm for a/c in this rig.You need it if you are running alternator only you only need one belt.

Edit maybe PS. I had hoped to use electric but won’t work w early box so… May switch columns later.
This is true. Im saying if you go to all the trouble to swap columns make@wngrog what year did the change the center arm? This is a 1971. Have no idea what the condition is of gear box. We shall see. But I thought the EPS only worked with the later steering wheel setups.
Thanks NolenThis is true. Im saying if you go to all the trouble to swap columns make
Sure your downstream components are as good as possible. 71 is the good center arm
Hello Nolan,
Can the later model center arms be swapped for the early? Wondering if the drag link connects in the same position for both styles
Have not been able to find any pics of the arms themselves to see if they are the same part and just had different mounts over the years. If yes, what parts or mounts need to be fabbed or sourced to perform this swap?
Any other members have knowledge, links or reference?
