Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just about to install a new manifold gasket and noticed that it has been bent at some stage. is this still ok to install???

I can see light through the two sides of the gasket.

and also, does it matter which side goes on the manifold ??

Thanks guys - really appreciated. I thought I was losing it there not being able to find info on it.

Now, where did I put my Gregory's International Harvestor repair manual....

mine snapped the cable about half way from box to cabin. could be the same has happenned to yours and every now and then is catching on itself causing the speedo to work momentarily.

Check the connection on the box first and if all's well pull your cable.

Thanks guys. Found the list number but cannot find any info whatsoever on the net???? Numbers are stamped exactly as below... 442163-C91 List-6391-1 3432 Any help is appreciated. I can't believe that I can't find any information on the net about this carbi other than a heap of chicks called Holley ...

There is a PDF of a 78 which should be relatively similar. It's on ih8mud site...

Can anyone tell me how to identify a Holley? Have one mounted on a fj40 2f but wouldn't have a clue how to identify what type, cfm, etc? Will be pulling this off next weekend to give me access to mount up some extractors, so I want to make sure gaskets already bought before I start. Have posted a ...

yeah - i fugured that a going over with a wire brush should do the trick.

Would gasket goo or ultra copper clear up any imperfections and create a better seal?

Have picked up a set of cheap Tri-Y extractors for use on a 2f. The problem is they have been sitting a garage for the last 6-12 months and developed surface rust where they mate the gasket.

What do you guys think would be the best way to clean these up prior to installing??

the answer to my dreams - plenty of offroad clearance but still able to fit in the local parking station. perfect!

didn't know there was such a beast? where can I pick up an adjustable regulator - from an auto elecy?

definately need a new one. too many lights are draining the battery at night and Im sick of jump starting it in the morning. the standard alternator only gives off about 40amps I think and with everything on Im draining 55amps theres nothing wrong with the old one I just need more juice. i was ...

Can an alternator from other vehicles (commodore, falcon, etc) be modded to suit a FJ40?
Need to replace mine but dont wont to spend a fortune.

thanx guys - pics to be added soon... (this weekend)

thanks Dazz, have seen those kids harnesses advertised lately and might just do the trick for the time being.

anyone come across a rear seat that has the seat belt integrated into the seat?

has anyone installed 3point seat belts in their 40's?

will be installing a zook rear seat this weekend but not really keen on the lap belts, and prefer 3point for safety, etc.

any advice?

did the same after stumbling across this link http://www.tlca.org/trails/articles/tech/instlght/index.html

Cant believe how simple and easy it was to fix such an annoying problem

no cable involved - just a simple lever that looks like a overgrown wing nut.

I have a dual fuel supply setup in the FJ40 with a manual lever to select either fuel tank. What i want is to replace the manual lever with a solenoid. What I'm thinking is that a six port solenoid would do the trick, with two inlet and two returns for each tank. Has anyone have a similar setup and ...

does this help....

...have picked up a FJ40 last week from my brother in law that had it sitting in his garage collecting dust (for nicks! ). Will be slowly building it up as the cash allows but for now concentrating on getting RWC. Over the next couple of weeks I intend to get my s**t together and put some photos of ...
