Wiring future problem??
I decided to remove the air box and lift the AC lines over the it to try and support it more, since as Moby pointed out the AC line is pulling away from the firewall. Is there a support that should hold it in place along the fender or near the firewall?
Also while the air box is out I noticed a potential problem with the wiring from the battery. What do you all think, worth redoing? If so what do I need?

God yes it's worth redoing. That's the fusible link(s) and it/they appear to have been halfway repaired. If the actual fusible link part of the wiring has been replaced with plain wire, that's a big fire hazard if something were to short out.
X2. New fusible links aren't expensive. FIX THAT s*** ASAP!

fusable link
Do the lfusable links go between the battery and the gray connection or is that gray connection not even suppose to be there? I tried to find a diagram from SOR on the wiring but I couldn't find anything.

I made my own and bought a ford fusible link.
There's several detailed pics of FL's here on mud. We just have to dig one up.
As far as replacing them, the actual FL wire is avail. in bulk roll form in various sizes. It's just the matter of proper connections, and losing the trick quick replacement ability from using the stock Toy stuff.

For future searches, and if you were gonna go this route, here's bulk fusible link. It's sized by cross section in mm.
Also, here's a pic of the way my FL looks right now.

fusible link
OK, I'm a little confused now.
I found the part on the SOR website Specter Off-Road-Land Cruiser Parts - Search On-020-30 for $13, but what exactly is it? To me from the pics that Wile set me it just looks like copper wire, what am I missing?

The 1st pic of mine above is generic bulk FL wire. You'd use that to rig up a replacement without using OEM.
The OEM stuff is FL wire already with proper connectors (the big gray ones in all the pics) and a terminal on the battery side. It's a plug and play replacement. Generally, you want the OEM part.

If you were to make your own, how do you calculate the appropriate length?
Or is the critical size consideration the cross section?

Factory all the way
Thanks, I'll talk to my local Toyota guy to get it ordered.

Trans line support
Sorry to be a PITA guys but I have another question. What is this plate next to the oil filter housing?
Does part 911 happen to bolt up to it to hold up the trans lines? I'm missing the part at this time but looking at the diagram and where the bolt hole is in part 065 they seem like they would line up. If not where and how is part 911 attached?

Anyone?? 
Is that a fuel pump block off plate? Iam wondering if the 2F change over to the 3FE used the same lower block? I can't remember.
Again, OEM is the way to go, but if yer a stubborn tinkerer like me, then here goes:
First let's get from metric to awg. ( the FL is sized in metric as you see in my pics)
SQ mm to AWG
0.8 = 18
1.0 = 16
2.0 = 14
3.0 = 12
Next, use the the rule of sizing fusible link 4 awg smaller than the wire it's protecting for a proper weak spot. That's assuming the wire is sized appropriately for the circuit it feeds. Thus:
FL in awg for wire in awg
18g = 14g
16g = 12g
14g = 10g
12g = 8g
Use at least 4" length, 6" is preferrred for each length of FL. Properly solder and crimp, and don't even think of using crimpless connectors.
Happy wrenching.
Yep, fuel pump block off plate.
May want to make sure that is on tight every now and then...
Don't ask me (or USMCruiser) how we know...

block-off plate
So on a non fuel injected 3f there would be something there?
