The Bolt I had made, copying the original.
Bolt and Wave Washers are Stainless Steel.
Inserts in Knobs Brass. Fyi.

4xWave Washers.
Happy with how they turned out.

I'd have to go pull them both and compare. I'll see if I can do that this afternoon.

Have you had a chance to compare these two distributor caps? Enquiring minds want to know .

Thanks.

I’m sorry, John, it’s not for sale.

Not a problem. Have a complete setup and a second missing the cover with the markings.

I now have the exhaust pipe I've been after. Or should I say I have the part in Australia with the person who located and purchased it for me. It's an aftermarket parts discontinued by that vendor. He found it in Tasmania.

I want to run a PTO winch on my 79 FJ40. But think it would be a improvement over out 1/79-7/80 stock setup the exhaust ran under the frame in the US. The over the frame design was stock in all markets except the few with an emissions system that included a CAT. Think this would qualify as an unobtainable part.

rebuilding a 1971 3 speed transfer case. High/low shift fork Part number #36312-60011 is no longer available. It has been replaced by #36312-60010 but that is supposedly incompatible?

Bronze bushings in the 1971 3 speed low and high speed transfer case gears.

My latest find. Brand new in the box rear heater.

There's got to be a cool story how that was found.

Not really. I search online every evening while my wife watches some dumb reality show. I saw this listed for sale as vintage Toyota heater. I had to have it.

Funny. This is all mine. He has managed to pry a few things from me. I still have my 1958 FJ25, 1960 fj25, 1972 frame off fj40, and 1979.

WOW! Nice find Gabe

I don’t think I have ever seen a rear heater that still had the sticker applied.

Shane did at one time. He vanished some time back.

It’s an uninteresting story as to why I have them, but I have a few hundred of Shane’s (Metric TLC) various decals. Anyone interested in the whole lot? Send me a message if so.

It's been a long time coming, but the long body locking hubs are taking shape. Will be testing the prototype soon.
