totally cool! I would have never guessed how far that dual shock remnant could be brought back! I will never doubt Rob and his collections again! SWEET. Keep it up D'Animal!

Had a chance to start on the wiring.

 

[D'Animal]

Pulled the harness and began reworking it as needed.

I used my "Parts" harness for the sections and pieces I need.

Build a gauge cluster out of my best parts. I really need a speedometer since the input crossshaft is worn out.

I installed a new ignition switch and wired it in and installewd a newer headlight switch and wired it in.

You're not gonna need a speedometer.

Fabbed up an adaptor bracket for my FJ60 Brake booster.

Looking at the the holes nearest the engine, you can see the shiney metal from the drill bit.

After you knock out the weld on tabs you can shave the side of it down and use it against the firewall/dash support.

 

[D'Animal]

Adaptor bracket and Brake Master cylinder installed and plenty of room for the brake line fittings.

Nice!

 

[D'Animal]

Carb on, Intake torqued, pedal installed, throttle cable routed and clutch master installed.

 

[D'Animal]

Old School air filter assy installed.

Fender installed. It aint pretty and was a real bugger to get all the holes lined up.

This of another....the one in my sig line, only I am spending a great deal more than you to put a pile of other peoples spare parts together.

This is cool.

 

[BenZZilla]

Dan you are the man, still waiting till I can make a trip to see that 45ec of yours. keep doin that thing you do.

 

[incogrhino]

Seems the modified smog bracket to hold the Alternator was not modified correctly. You would only notice it when the alt belt is full tensioned. D'OH!

The clutch fan is the hold up.

Engine is a 2F from a 1984 FJ 60.

I cannot find a smaller OD fan to fit in the FJ 40 schroud that will work on the larger clutch fan diameter.

The 1976-1978 fan uses a smaller fan clutch, smaller bolt patern and a smaller bolt diameter.

Looks like I will have to swap waterpumps.
