All went back together fairly smooth. All new hardware helps.

Went for a test ride. It surprisingly moves a lot of air into the cab as compared to a more modern day vehicle with all the air intake and vent hose routing around, under and thru the dash. This is more like direct injection of air into the cab. Linkage was all lubed up and working well after some tinkering.

Well, it was time I got back onto the wiper arm/blade issue. Been a hassle trying to find a blade adapter that would easily mount to the old style wiper arms from pre-1968. My FJ45 is a 1965. I have quite an assortment of adapters I have collected over the years but none worked for this type of arm. I contacted all the big Landcruiser parts suppliers and no one had any answers, Spector had a good listing of adapters shown on their website but they were no longer available. I checked out Amazon and found the below adapter that works but is not perfect. It does not just snap onto the wiper arm. But with some easy modifications..................it works well.

Decided to add some nylock nuts onto the bottom of the screws for extra insurance.

I will be driving my 45 over from GJ on Saturday to attend the Rising Sun Swap Meet in Lakewood. Do you plan on being there?
Yup, I’ll be there love to check em out. Won’t have the truck, wanted too, rear axles are out and hasn’t run for a few years (but does!) I had a too much to do. I’ll look for you.
