Are the ones sold on fleabay not correct? There are a couple listers there with glassGot my depo lights today. Took forever. Only place I could find to still get these was Russia. Eventually I will retrofit them. I really didn't want to get these now but they were the last ones. After I ordered them more appeared to be in stock...well whatever they are here.

Got most the pieces to make my fuel tank pressure sensor in line manifold. I don't have a machine shop, this will be very basic but should work fine. I'm not going to go super crazy with mechanical prettiness on this. It will be my daily driver, and the chances of a daily driven vehicle getting in a wreck are real. So I'm just going to keep it simple and swappable to another 80 if this one gets hit or I hit someone. View attachment 1591809

Basically the vent will go straight through and the sensor will mount in a 3rd hole yet to be drilled on the side and t into the vent. The two bottom holes are for m8 bolts to hold the aluminum to the frame. I researched doing this out of a composite of types but couldn't figure out a good material. So I went aluminum.

Euro clear depo lights for 90-97 but I'm not sure if they're direct fit for the 91-94 cruisers.
After I bought them, about a week later it said they had a whole bunch in stock. I had assumed they were being phased out for the angel eye ones. They fit ok but the bottom bolt flange of the light needs a washer or 2 behind it or else it stetches the flange too much and cracks it. One is cracked now but seems like the light is still plenty sturdy.Are the ones sold on fleabay not correct? There are a couple listers there with glass

That's them...couldn't give me a straight answer if the lights are for the earlier or later 80 series. Just kept saying they specify there may be some modification needed.It’s been years, but actually remember the eBay seller’s name I bought mine from.
“Neondials”
At the time here on the forum there was a lot of discussion of them being gone and I watched that guys “available” number dwindle. When it got to two left I bought. I looked a couple days later and it said something like 50 available.
Well I put a different sender in-still no dice. Spent some time checking it out and did some research. While I was wiring stuff up I think I grounded the gauge power wire a bit too long accidentally. This from my understanding does 1 of 2 things, either heats up the little arm in the gauge until it breaks, or if not grounded too long heats up the arm until it bends to the point that when it's hooked up right it's bent too far to move the needle into the gauge sweep range. So I pulled the gauge from the cluster and my arm was bent. I very carefully bent it back and put it back. While I was at it I painted the tach n Speedo needles. I will do the others when I feel like it. Hooked it all back up and the oil pressure gauge works really well.

The little arm in the gauge gets voltage on the coil on the arm and it moves the arm which makes the needle move. If the arm sender wire gets too much voltage it will cause the coil to overheat and get the arm so hot the arm will sag or break. My arm was sagged so I carefully bent it to fix the sag. To me though it sounds like the coil in the gauge may be bad on yours. I think you can order just the oil pressure/fuel gauge part of the cluster from toyota. It's not hard to remove. Or take one out of a used cluster.What exactly did you do? My 80 has the 1FZE but the oil gauge will read when it's cold, once it warms up the needle just drops. Still has perfect oil pressure using a manual gauge and I replaced the oil sending unit, still does the same thing.
Your right. I lowered it down and I have about an inch clearance.I can’t really tell from the picture, but it looks like your Panhard Bar goes from passenger side of the frame to the drivers side of the axle? So when your at ride height you should have a little more room on the driveshaft side.
