What about the "teflon lined core"?


the PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene :- teflon) liner will out last any other hose on the market, most are rated up to 300deg C working temp and 3000psi working pressure (the stuff I sell does anyway). With the teflon liner, never ever bend it any further than it ...

i have lengthened my wheelbase on my 79 model 40 series , & after much thought about it ... this is what i ended up doing
turned the rear spring pack around & because of the offset in spring centre bolts this gave me a few inches , then i had to rotate the diff cause now the pinion points ...

for the hose I'd go with some 3/8 plastic air hose from a truck parts supplier, cheaper than fuel line and will last longer (wont perish as quickly)

if you have access to an oxy, a bit of hot around the spring and a little hot around the hanger

yea go Enzed, never had any probs with them.......oh wait....I own local Enzed.....

pinion seal.......dead eazy

I got onto a mate who is a sub agent for Colrain (sp?) who deals with carrols on a regular basis, I can get springs at cost +freight, std 40 springs $70 per pack, 2" raised $80 per pack, std 55 $80 per pack, and 2" raised for $95, so its a fairly cheap option as a custom pack is only $40 extra ...

use 55 series springs. They are longer and have the small eyelets. You wont need to change hangers.

the 55's are no longer than the std 40's.......just the 40's have an offset center pin which is 2" (ruffly) closer to the front than the rear, the 55's center pin is centered on the spring.

you ...

flat road, no wind, 33's, my "B" can do 130k's by GPS reading (who want to go over 100-110 any ways), my mates 2f 45ser can do 170 easy.....

you must be looking at it from the front of the vehicle (left handside), as far as I know the 3B is modeled on the same block etc so BJ42 is your exhaust manifold on the rhs if sitting in the drivers seat?

arnt 40's surposed to run dot 3 fluid?.....dot 4 will stuff the o'rings and seals

how bout just using a cable dampener on the strap?

the best way to bleed the 40' clutch slave is to pressure bleed from the cylinder up to the master, but I assube you dont have access to a pressure bleeder. The other way to do it is to press peddle down, open bleed, and let it syphon to the cylinder, close bleed, release peddle, and the cylinder ...

park it on some car ramps, might just give you enough roll to get it goin

you will find that if a vehicle does not have clear reverse lamps, when reverse is selected that both indicators come on (not blinking, but a constant light).

I'd bite the bullet and buy a mig straight off, they are easyer to learn with and makes a crappy weld look half profesional.

I don't want sound like a jerk, but isn't that the exact reason why one should learn with an arc welder?

yea you sound like a jerk.....just joking

what I was trying to ...

oh well......will still be interesting.....pitty it wasnt a 40

I'd bite the bullet and buy a mig straight off, they are easyer to learn with and makes a crappy weld look half profesional. I have a UNI MIG pro craft 210A and it is perfect for most situations

My current ride is sprung over and the only reason Im changing to coils is that I want to build a link system as I havent done that yet and it looks like fun. Otherwise I would keep the Soa setup as it works well.

very interested in seeing that buildup!!

hopefully you have fixed it!!

Went 3.5, will look just fine, now chasing a 3.5" to 3.25" silicon hose reducer... Ideas? The air box is 80mm or 3.25" and I can't be assed adapting it to be 3.5 so a hose should do the trick. With steel 90 out the guard tho, its going take a bit of elongation to get the elbow to sit up nice and ...

either the o'ring in the hand primer pump is dodgy or your fuel fiter may not be tight enough

I think your right on the money there Steve

is the wobble there all the time or only at cretian speeds?

is it a vibration wobble or darting across the road?

some people say not to use alloy because it has a greater chance of cracking due to it being more brittle than steel. Over 5yr that I was doing H/V alignments we had no cracking of the wedges (mind you 12tons is alot more than your average 2-2.5 4by). I think the spring width for my cruiser was 2.75 ...

I used to work for a heavy vehicle w/alignment joint. 3deg x 2.5 " $10, 4deg x 2.5" $19 (alloy wedges though)

as stated you fitted a suspension lift (raised springs)

if the pulling was not there before hand you caster and toe is out (usual with suspension lifts) to need to get some caster wedges and fit to the front axle between the spring and the purch on the bottom of the diff. (this is done because with ...

I have a 1975 FJ40 and last week i put 35's on it. They go on with no problems but i only had to trim around the rear gaurds so the back ones can fit. No structural modifying or the diff, i only trimed around the gaurds. Im not sure if 36's could fit as it would be touch and go with the rear ...
