Length needed - OEM FJ40 crank start handle

@jm599

I always refer to this one from @IDave

That one was already warmed up. No way an F motor starts that easy when there's snow on the ground.

I want one of those, and the fender brackets. @Weber Sarge, I believe they are cross head screws.

@Fast Eddy i believe he had originally said he had it in his garage and pulled it out to film it... someplace 7 years ago is the original thread

After a visit from @Dagha Boy - I have to ask....
Are the Aussie market starter handle storage clips held to the body with cross head metric screws , or rivets ???

Hi Sarge

The starter handle clips are fixed with small cross head metric screws - there are weld nuts attached to the underside of the wheel tub to accept them.

The jack extension rod brackets are fixed with 10mm hex heads, again, with weld nuts fixed to the tub underside.

The early fuel pumps have a hand primer. That allows the carburetor bowl to be full. Pump the gas pedal a couple times and pull the choke and you have much better chance of it starting in cold weather.

Confusion came from Dagha Boy's set of riveted clips - they were off a 45 model that had them riveted to a plate to hold the jack . All other markets the clips were held into the body with small cross head JIS screws . Still working on the clips when I have time , may send part of the set I have from Dagha to a lab and get it's process analyzed to determine what alloy of steel they are . I have a press die made to make the shape , but no alloy found yet will handle the smaller radius bend at the bottom .
