Is there any difference between an hj and fj 45 chassis?

Wouldn't the spring eye size be different between earlier and later models?

the hangars are not differant between FJ and HJ 45/47 series. They are exactly the same. The differant size hangar is dependant on the year, not the engine type. Up until 1980 (i think) they all used small diameter spring hangers. After that they all used large diameter spring hangers.

Thanks Guys
I have a hj45 with a rusty chassis and have only been able to find fj chassis thinking the tray and body mounts would be the same, just more worried about the motor and gearbox mounts, would thay be that hard to change if thay are different?

motor mounts are fine, use your rubber mounts from your chassis, and you'll be sweet.
the drivers side gearbox mount is the biggest issue. but all it takes is cutting off the petrol mount, and drilling holes to suit the mount (unboltable on the HJ45 chassis) off yours. passenger side, they both sit on the chassis,so just use the rubber mounts off of your chassis...
another consideration is be prepared to rework the fuel lines, as the 2f and the H have er... slightly different setups
