[pardion]

Yes folks, PARTS IS PARTS.

grommets are grommets ....

 

[dannyrey25]

That is the issue @ragingmatt that i recently purchased the fj40 from a couple that wanted to cruise around town in it but they both had medical issues and had to sell and after taking it home and doing some cleaning and polishing it seemd to me its was a nice ruff jewel and it ended up being very complete and original 10/72 fj40.....

 

[dannyrey25]

So in the proccess ive been correcting and trying to put it ti its original state and this is one of those issues

 

[dannyrey25]

That is what ive been trying to figure when i was replacing the front cowl air vent seal and drain hoses/gromets in how you opened that vent

 

[ToyotaMatt]

well ,

the correct part is the correct part

do u know which one it its ?


what ever the end result is is u absolutely want the period correct part ,

@pardion seems to have a viable choice




all depends on your Pro date on your Door Jamb DATA ID plate

 

[dannyrey25]

And this is were im at, i was doing some research yesterday and figured out that on of th po had chopped off that lower portion of radio opening and took of the rod ........but at this moment i like the patina and originalty that ot has and im keeping it this way

 

[dannyrey25]

Ill probably look for cut out piece and bolted to botttom with out weldng

 

[ToyotaMatt]

Gesus .........

 

[ToyotaMatt]

Ill probably look for cut out piece and bolted to botttom with out weldng

thats a smart move , u have a idea on

hard part is finding one ,




I Bet @pardion has a dash part for u ..............

 

[ToyotaMatt]

if u dont mind me asking where'd u get the Spiffy New choke cable from ?


Looks Very Nice

 

[dannyrey25]

Well if i come across the one it should take at a resonable price yes... but it if i find one from a year older or newr ill go with that

 

[ToyotaMatt]

key is having that triangle bracket for the vent pull


that stopped in 1974 ............i think

 

[dannyrey25]

@RAGINGMATT

 

[dannyrey25]

Yes on the triangle support for rod so ill have to look for cut out with that piece

 

[ToyotaMatt]

yes,

and im not a authority on that year span detail , @65swb45 ( Mark ) is , he also may have your part if @pardion is also
, if he does not


i would PM both of them and see when that might have for u

 

[dannyrey25]

On the spiffy cable .....i think i got lucky with that after doing research online and on a online toyota catalog i keept cheking on the part number and took me to amazon and got it for 40-45 bucks NOS sealed pckage

 

[ToyotaMatt]
