Anyone out there happen to have a full set of locks / ignition and a matching key for a 1974 SWB FJ40 that they want to part with?

Cheers

Anyone have a good exhaust shop around town? I want to get my twin pipes currently out the side of the truck ported into one and fed out the back through another muffler.

Then onto the rear sill and tail gate, luckily a good mate of mine is a machine with a mig. Before: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb121/nzdonjohnson/DSC01143.jpg After 50mm RHS fitted and welded up and replacing the rear quarters with new steel: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb121 ...

Decided i'd install onboard air after finding out how long it takes to fill 35's at the gas station, so dived all in and bought some bits and pieces. A6 compressor from an old XJS, cut the pipes out the back, tapped them and put in an inline air filter and a NITTO fitting for the hose back to the ...

First mods as I can remember were just playing around taking the truck to pieces and tidying up, doing that I got onto replacing the clutch slave and masters, running new fuel lines, new bits and pieces for the engine, bought a hardtop plus a set of doors, changed all the oil, painted the engine bay ...

Just a thread for me to keep people updated on the progress and to contribute something to the forum. Note the wooden gate... light weight for racing http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb121/nzdonjohnson/48935277_full.jpg Engine Bay needing a tidy / paint http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb121 ...

G'day - a Fligor refrigeration switch, it was on trademe. Maximum is 100psi which is fine for what I need it for. You can buy then from Blackwoods Paykels or any air compressor shop. Mine turns on at 80, off at 100.

Thought i'd get off my lazy ass and write up what i'm doing as it might help some of you when you're locating parts etc. I'm installing onboard air in my 350 chev FJ40, its been a hell of an ordeal really trying to find bits and pieces but i'm almost there. Lets start with a parts list: Compressor ...

Go to blackwoods paykels on Lunns road, they've got everything you'll need.

Buy some contact cleaner from supercheap, ripco, or somewhere like that and spray the shit out of any connector that is covered in mud. Most likely it's an intermittent connection on something major.

Thanks for the photos - it helps. My tank is going to have to go where yours is as well, think i'll just build a thick slider to go underneath it.

Now I just need to buy the setup.

Thanks all.

Thanks man - photos would be great.

I'm thinking about running a dual curve ignition for the LPG/Petrol combo. Guess i'll see how it goes finding a complete setup first.

Thanks man - appreciate it.

Don't happen to have any photos of your setup do you?

Thanks - any idea what a tank test costs these days?

I'm wanting to install LPG onto my FJ40 - it's a 350 chev.

If I find a complete setup on tardme and the tank is already cert'd can I install it myself?

I think I have to get the fuel lines run by someone qualified - but am I right in assuming I can just mount up the rest and bobs ya uncle?

Anyone got one that they're keen to part with?

Cheers

Or another option is the whacking big A6 compressor found on 70-80's Jags. There's a few of them around and they have a sump as well

Anyone know somewhere in Christchurch to pressure test a tank to be used for an onboard air system?

The tank is off a truck, used to be used for air brakes but it's a but old so I want to check it out.

Cheers

If I was close to this air tank i'd grab it for a mega onboard tank:

Cheap at $5 buy now.

I'm in Christchurch - central city is where I live, but the truck was out in sockburn/hornby at the time.

So I took Ooza into a mates work place in Christchurch, on waterloo road to get some work done. Drove up the long drive (a few businesses alongside - mechanics etc) and pulled in behind a 12 foot fence, which is made from 50mm square tube covered with thin steel plate. Left it there overnight to ...

G'day,

Looking for an early 60 series 5 speed box for a petrol engine, also need the gearbox crossmember (short type - think from early models but not too sure).

Cheers.

G'day - guessing you've probably not seen the pm or my previous post - let me know if you still wanna sell these. Cheers

pm sent

G'day - still got these mate?

G'day - anyone have a good list of tracks and access points around Chch?

Cheers,

Yea, that's the one - I assumed they'd be good, but just wanted to hear any first hand stories.

Thanks for the response.

Anyone have any experience dealing with these guys or have any parts from them?

I'm thinking about converting the beast to fibreglass bit by bit and wondering whether any one has had any experience with them? Cheers.

to make it comfortable, you may want to look at getting that shackle angle right. At the moment its negative. To make it ride nice, the shackle angle would be good at 45deg. To do that it either needs a new main leaf made longer, or substitute the lifted springs for a SOA and flat standard springs ...
