any one have any photos of the underside of the driver seat ( the sliding assembly with springs ) ?
I had a photo of it before i disassembled it, but I cannot seem to find it.
I figured someone had one around mud

Underseat drivers side
Mine are bolt adjusted. So I am probably no help. Bolt adjusted means tilt seat forward (or remove seat entirely) loosen 4 bolts and knock seat forward or rearward to suit. Pretty low tech.
Those seats Shane is selling. What color are they...red? Would they fit a 1962 FST?

the good the bad and the ugly
well the good news is the fj40 is looking sexy
the bad is that i think my fuel pump is wonk.
Basically it is not pulling gas from the tank to any where
I put in 2 gallons of gas in the tank, and started turning it over...
No gas reaching even at the tank outlet ( old clear lines ) nor any of the glas bowl fuel filter or carb bowl...
Tried to prime the pump mechanically, put a little gas in the inlet with a turkey baster... nada, then the hand primmer felt like it was not working at all, think it just gave up ( the diaphragm i guess )
So i think the game plan is to get a working pump from someone that i can pop on for now , and try to sort out the other period correct one later...
any one have a mechanical pump that will fit up to a 64 they wanna sell?
here are some photos:
tank:
filter:
pump:
carb ( no gas anywhere )
and some photos of the beast for my own mental well being
the wifey drew s*** in the under hood dust

you might need more then two gallons of gas in the tank to get to the pickup. take off the line on the fuel pump and see if it pulls while you crank the engine. You can feel it pull just by putting your finger on it.

More gas in the tank baby. Like 5 or 10 more. Gas should just flow out of line by fuel pump. You might want to leave the gas cap off til it flows too. For that matter you can apply a vacuum to the line to pull the fuel through the filter and get the siphon thing going. You could use your mouth but using a suction gun (at most part stores, used to fill rear ends and transfercases) will taste better. I wonder if you could apply pressure to the fill opening? Well you could but who would want to? Besides the neighbors might think you were a bit odd.

yeah, it goes the direction of the arrow on it ( tank to carb
)Hopefully I can get out there after work and mess with it.
Waiting on a font from Japan so i can deliver the next build of this nissan website
hopefully I just do not have enough gas in the tank, other wise i will take apart the pump again and see what is up
