@MadMace

Thank you Paul, definitely needed.

Stuffed!

Came up with a slick way to mount accessory switches with out adding a bunch of holes in the dash.

These go in the ash tray location and are made with 6061 aluminum and are two sided. One has a light laser etching with our classic logo, and the other side is blank. We left these raw so the end user can finish however they like.

Modeled this switch plate to either take OEM style switches if you want to keep a more period correct look or more modern Contura 2 switches.

The design shares the same outline as the OEM ashtray as a nice nod to the original style.

4X series Land Cruiser ashtray switch plate

Need more switches in your 40 but don't want to drill into that nice dash? Need a clean looking install? How about taking out that OEM ashtray and using that space for a custom plate for those switches! We modeled this switch plate to either take OEM style switches (such as our customizable fog...

Digging the sanded finish

So happy our restock of the 69-79 fuel pump rebuild kits finally arrived from Japan! Keep your OG fuel pumps working longer with a fresh rebuild. The rebuild process is actually pretty straight forward with only a JIS Phillips screwdriver needed once the pump is off the engine. Ok, well maybe a little scraper if you need to get the little paper gaskets off the pump housing when you replace the valves.

FJ40 Fuel Pump Rebuilt Kit (Prior Group Buy)

Hey Everyone! We are excited to launch a group buy for high quality Japanese rebuild kits for the FJ40 mechanical fuel pumps. We wanted to go for a group-buy format because we wanted to offer a discounted price to mud members! Toyota stopped selling the rebuild kits for these pumps. We are...

An idea for y'all. The horn brush/ horn seat on early FJ40 steering wheels. It is an easily lost part and difficult to find.

Thanks for working on these components!

We can certainly look into that. Is the need mainly for the metal ring, or ring and spring and pin?

 

[Krondor]

The spring and pin are needed the most/ a way to mount the spring to the plate. It’s a wear item and easily lost. To my knowledge no one is making them.

 

[middlecalf]

Rubber spacer too. Doesn’t seem like much of a part, it’s more than just a rubber washer, but if not a good substitute (the SOR one is not a good substitute) the horn is hard to engage handily or readily engages unintentionally esp. on rough gravel roads .

Brush and contact plate as a unit and secondly, the rubber spacer (isolator). The contact spring is less easy to get lost but can be troublesome if rusty to provide a good earth. While at it, you might as well make the ring contactand isolator. Ideally offer each part individually or as a whole kit.

Do any of you have a spare part I can get in hand and model? I would of course mail them back once I get some measurements . This is the only part I have of the horn assembly at the moment.

 

[middlecalf]

Yeah, that part too you have in hand!

I'll dig through my replaced stuff, I know that if I have anything it won't be complete as the complete ones are in my rigs (and needed right now).

 

[mrboatman]

I have this part you could use for measurements

 

[mrboatman]

I also found that a rubber grommet of the correct size and cutting one of the lips off works for the rubber spacer

 

[locklaw]

I'm unfortunately all the way down in Africa, so logistics are against us for me to borrow you some samples

Yeah, that would be a logistical hurdle! We will find the parts here in the US no problem.

Nice! Are you happy with it? If there is already a solution for that part then that is awesome.

Do you need to measure the parts yourself? I can pop my steering wheel off and give you some measurements. Or, when my sniper is back and I need some tuning miles, maybe an impromptu cruiser meetup? I’ll bring the 17mm wrench and you bring the calipers?

Yes it has seemed to work well for a year or so now

Either works for me! Thanks!
