Factrory FJ40 p/s installation

[RJHR]

I am installing factory p/s into my 12/79 FJ 40. Can anyone tell me where the cooling lines run? Are any photos available?

Also, I think I may need the lines from the pump to the box, are these still available?

Thanks!

Try Spector's exploded parts drawings.

It should go in the low pressure (return) side of the system. I have installed a cooler out of a Harley.

Hey Rick,

I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my 1/79 FJ-40. Does the new box bolt right in without any modifications?

Matt,

The factory box bolts right in, but you will want to swap your factory steering shaft for a p/s version - it is about 1.2" shorter.

Thanks John. I am still trying to figure our how the cooler lines rest on the frame, and apparently I am a couple of lines short, too. Hope I did not throw them away in the box they came in!!!

Thanks, Rick. There's not a whole lot of info online regarding this "modifaction". Probably because there's not a whole lot to it. But if you could give us (me) an update and include any useful hints/tips when you're finished, I'd appreciate it.
