I looked up the thermostat housing gasket, part #16341-60010. NLA but supposedly superseded by 16341-60020.

Close, but not close enough. I was able to locate the same gasket on an old Toyota forklift that seems to still be available but I still have some gasket material so I whipped one up.

Lower housing gasket seems to be the same between the early and later style though.

I don't know how visible it is in this photo but I didn't like how the rubber was deformed here so I ordered up a new one.

Also ordered up the upper gasket since I couldn't tell from the thermostat part number if it was included. It was not, so I'm glad I did.

It looks the part. Fifty bucks though. Ouch.

All buttoned up.

Yup! On the water pump! Seems silly… but that is it :p

I have a chevy alternator…. Soon to be Toyota again.

I think I may have a later style alternator bracket. I need about 3/8" of shims to make this work and I think I found out why.

The later style pump is thicker.

I guess I'll be hunting down one of these.
 
 
Bingo :)
 
While I deal with my alternator bracket woes, I decided to rebuild the fuel pump. I was going to wait on this until after I got it running but when I pulled the old oil filter it smelled of gasoline. I wanted to rule out the pump.

Here it is all grimy.

It cleaned up nicely.

I bought a kit from @Cruiser Cult. It's an excellent kit and did the job perfectly.

I'm trying to replicate what is circled here. I have all the parts including a replacement for the busted fitting that I think started PO down the path of this later water pump conversion.

But I need to get this brass elbow out of the busted one. it's pretty much seized into place. No amount of heat or beatings will free it. And it's pretty beat up already.

This is what I started with and where I was able to salvage the extra fitting from.

I was really worried that PO had just jammed some SAE or whatever they could source pipe fittings into place but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually sourced some metric thread Japan made stuff!

Are you just looking for an elbow, or a specific elbow designed to incorporate a shutoff valve?
 
@ToyotaMatt In my searching, I found a thread where you offer up some various heater hose bibs. Do you have this one (not the busted part)...

I am fairly certain I DO have the one with the HEX feature with the FEMALE threads inside the HEX feature

You have a gold plated hose bib above

Please clarify what one we discussing ?

But ,

I have ALL the stand alone parts in your reference photo just above …

Some pre- owned

Some NOS

Anything pre-owned is absolutely in good usable condition…..fyi
 
These I have Kustom made for me and are 💯 % made is Japan ..

They will thread into that hexagon port feature …

However ..

Have a 1/2 “ hose bib as I designed them for a FJ60 / late FJ40 oil cooler option / rear heater hose tap / shut off summer option

you can simply step it up to a 5/8 “ needed size spec. hose with a copper reducer fitting as well

Cruiser porn. 😍
 
Cant compete. All I have are boxes and boxes of used elbows. This isn't even half.
