Assembly help needed

[yotec]

I bought a 78 FJ40 in January that came with a large box full of misc. used parts. The apparatus pictured was in the box. The seller said it is the cover for the fuel lines behind the drivers seat. There is a speaker mounted there that I haven't removed yet to see how it might fit but at first look appears to possibly have some other missing parts. Anyone out there have any info or photos to assist this newbie. Thanks for your help.

It only would be behind the drivers seat if you have a right hand drive truck. It is missing the fuel/vapor separator that goes inside it. There is one more L-shaped piece that completes it by tying it into the floor.

So this is only installed on right hand drive FJ's?

Nope. Goes on the right side of the truck behind the front seat (passenger on left hand drive) attached to the side on the body in front of the rear fender. The fuel tank vent hoses go to a black plastic vapor tank that is protected by that shield... On right hand drive trucks it is behind the drivers seat since the fuel tank is still mounted on the right side of the truck.

It covers the fuel filler hose, and fuel vent hoses, behind the passengers side seat.

My mistake, I typed drivers side but meant passenger side. Sorry for the confusion. Looks like I am missing the angled piece that ties it to the floor. Thanks for your help.

BTW those clips and bolts don't belong there either. One of those holes is to bolt to the B-Pillar and the other to the fender well. Your plastic separator is missing from this as well.

The plastic separator you mentioned, are you referring to the plastic piece with all the fuel/evap lines running into? Any pics available to show proper install and misc. pieces/parts? Thanks

Here is an old photo of this cover installed in my rig.

Those clips mention in post #7 should be installed on the fuel separator, see below.

Here are some recent photos of my fuel separator cover, painted more of a pewter color than the old battleship grey.

Great, that schematic is perfect. Thanks much! Looks like I need the lower protector #77673. Anybody out there have one they would be willing to part with?

Photos were a big help. Where they normally painted to match interior colors. The part on one that I have is the tan color.

I have only seen them Pewter as shown or black. I have never seen them color matched to the body. Someone will know for sure, depending on your model year.

My 78 was factory white with grey interior but painted beige by a previous owner from Denver.
If anyone knows of a lower protector cover for sale let me know. I'll keep my eye on eBay.
