I tried buying one through the Australian distributor, but they didn't stock any flaring kits, just other MasterCool air conditioning tools . In the end, I bought one throught The Tool Discounter in the US.

show them pics of the fj with whats in it now fingers

got some work done to the project over the last month ......everything has been trail fitted included the brake booster and brake pedal ...the brake pedal was mainly done by Neatride being an engineer it seems all to easy to him ,thanks Nick ...also got the dash painted in Apache red and firewall painted in Clinker grey all so I can start to rewire the dash .......





Pulled the instruments to bits and colour matched painted the gauge facia,s also got red LED globes to illuminate them

The subframe is in undercoat and will be painted tomorrow all being well with the weather ....Have got the side skirts cut out for the extractors and trail fitted the aluminium desert cooler radiator and cross bar .....



Fitted up the Castlemaine 2 speed wiper motor and used the new switch supplied by them with the original FB wiper knob and facia ...fits well


Tomorrow after the subframe is painted the task of putting it back to together starts .......everything is sitting waiting including the motor and the Southern Chassis Frontend and I,m getting excited but it wont happen for a few weeks yet ...ATM I,m busier than a 1 armed paperboy with crabs ...work is going ballistic ...work is the curse of the man with a project .......

Jesus mate bits happened since i was there last!

Hey Fingers,
Great work with your project. I don't know how you manage doing more than one at a time. A big effort no doubt.

Who did you source your paint from?? (Apache Red/Clinker Grey)
Was the paint matched to a sample or was it from a colour mixing formula?

I wouldn't mind seeing both colours upfront as my FB is getting close to getting its paint.

Cheers.
