Builds Weenie 3 - Bringing another 40 back from the dead (1 Viewer)

[wngrog]

Picked up a used “Warren Wench.

“Worked when parked” according to the seller.

The controller that came with it is not Warn and after hooking it up it did not work.

I then tried the controller from my 40 which is the same old 4 pin. Nothing

I busted out the PowerProbe and it worked just fine.

I’ll source a new controller and plug and it should be good to go.



Now that I know it works I’ll clean it up a bit and mount it up next week.

You may want to open it up and make sure it has oil and everything in the gear case looks happy.

Question.......

Theae wiper arms are weak. They are not pressing hard against the windshield.

New blades.

Is there a hack? I see no one makes them anymore.

 

[chbrow10]

Get newer springs? Maybe from a different year LC?

Bend arms a tad more?

There’s a Volkswagen hack for replacement arms, they are still available new or I’ve had luck on my Sequoia rear arms dropping some penetrating oil into the rivets and work them till they loosen up.

Not sure, we ended up with oem. I think @JohnnyC might know.

I know citty racer has the OEM blades. im not sure about the stalks.

Bug arms would likely work, but they are fairly flimsy. Want me to get some pics and specs?

I bought some recently from Toyota. ~$30 or so?

 

[wngrog]

Got home from work and had a header and Remflex on the porch.

I fired up the paint booth and tore into the manifolds

paint booth

you can see where I had a blowout. Never had this happen before

One thing that is guaranteed when installing a header is you will scratch the s*** out of it test fitting a figuring out the angle to install

I put it back on the paint string and repainted it

Made Some 1/2 washers to get a good snug for tomorrow. Hope to get it all in and a temporary exhaust rigged up so I can make sure it’s leak free.

I used to belt sand manifolds and put a straightedge on to make sure they are flat, doesn’t take much to blow gaskets! I even belt sand headers too!

for a 74? if you can dig up the info I’d appreciate.

 

[matzell]

I will look up the part numbers when I get to work. I bought some for a 1970 FJ40 that was at the shop. Should be the same, overhead wipers.

Yeah a bit of confusion about need for wiper arms, not wiper blades, lol. I got these for my ‘63 absent any originals (TNK), but they‘re not mounted yet and therefore I have no info if they’ll be effective (enough for the environment I’m in which I suspect is a lot different than Mississippi).
