Hello All,
I was replacing most of my cooling system today on my 78 and got to the last gasket, the Thermostat housing gasket, between the upper and lower housing. I noticed the thin paper gasket wasn't going to work, I needed a thicker material. Did a quick search and came up with this thread FJ40 Thermostat Installation How To and noticed the 2 different gaskets. I checked FJparts.com as referenced in the thread but they are out of stock. Gasket, Thermostat Housing, 58-67 FJ40 45 25, OEM
Anyone found a different source for this thick rubber gasket? (PO had used the paper gasket plus some type of rubber gasket material to fill the gap)
Borrowed a couple of pics from the mentioned thread for reference.
Thank You!
