it would take a long time to get a hold of a 55 column

Hi

Anyone knows where I can buy a new replacement turn signal switch for my '77 FJ40?

mine broke off in half and the previous owner dont know where the other half was.

I know Cool cruisers sells them in the US

my '77 FJ40 has an auxiliary fuel tank under the passenger side seat.
Now it used to level fine but after replacing my facet electric fuel pump to carter black electric pump it now plays up.
I mean it sometimes levels itself but most of the time one of the tank has all the fuel when its running. If ...

its actually held by two bolts the other one is on the top/behind the tyre.
not really sure why and how it got bent as I got the car with this issue.
There's half or a millimetre play on the hinge if you jiggle it. To be the hinge tube must've elongated a tiny bit making it sag.
Just worried if I ...

this is what's under the hinge tube



someone told me to jack the other end and that might straighten the pivot back

My spare tyre carrier seems to sag now and its extremely difficult to swing it open.

Whats the easiest way to straighten things up with my setup right now.

here's 2 pics, you can see the bolt where the top hole goes to

are the generic ones in fleabay should be OK or can anyone recommend a brand and where to get it?

Hi

I just want to know any of the guys whos got a inertia type seatbelts on their soft top 40 how you guys installed them with your roll cage.

I got mine with a 4 point harness, I still prefer the lap/sash type seat belts for daily and for legality

And did you use the original seat belts? anyone ...

I've tested the motor and the winch works.
It looks like theres too much hassle to open the solenoids up and take it apart as they are riveted? Need to drill it to open them up. Then have to worry about sealing them up again.

if not those single solenoid ones are good?

the top ones have only one bolt sticking out on the body
the bottom ones have two

from the picture above the two inner big cables (red and blue taped) are the ones that goes to the winch and they dont have power even when the solenoids are clicking

anyone's got a diagram how it should be wired?

all four solenoids are clicking this is by sound and touching each one of them while I press the in/out on the controller

the big cables coming from the control box is wired straight on the battery +ive and -ve

the cables are all tight

can anyone confirm the wiring on the control box if its right?

the control box is a Thomas unit.

Hi

I've never used the winch that was included when I bought my FJ40, and today I tested it and it would just make a clicking noise.
Its a Ramsey REP8000 with hand controller

There's voltage coming in on the controller unit (solenoids) but nothing on the winch itself.

What could be causing this ...

I had something similar, would stall on a slight incline

could be your carby fuel level, fuel pump struggling, blocked lines, stuck needle and seat?

Im not sure if I have solved mine as I just finished installing a new electric pump, regulator and set the fuel float level, just need to get a new ...

Hi

How do you wire up a toggle kill switch to a 30amp relay fuel pump on the power side of the relay 86 or 30 or to the ground 85?
I want to add a buzzer to remind me to flick the toggle switch, that means using SPDT ON - ON Switch?

Diagram would be great for a dummy like me.

thanks in advance

Hi

I'm replacing my solid state electric fuel pump with Black Carter fuel pump.

My old fuel pump used to be mounted on the lower part of the firewall, I was advised and also researched that it should be lower than the fuel tanks.

The fuel tanks are still under the seats.

I'm not really sure ...

they have one for full floater
