Thanks guys Here in UK visiting and just received new set springs from jap4x4 thanks for directions edweird. Will take them back to Italy in 6 weeks to fit. Set of four standard springs £305 delivered. they are slightly diff to standard rears in that have the extra thick flat bar for overload protec...

Time for a bit of feedback. Remember this is a SJ 410 970cc engine. THIS IS NOT AS PER MANUAL. Getting to the cam belt is pretty straightforward, ignoring probs with bottom rad hose. The bottom crank pulley needs to come of as I descibed above. Press on right hand side of OLD belt to get a feel for ...

thanks for the input guys. Now I understand how to do just got to find some good used belts of right length. Will be putting inertia types in using the already there four bolt holes along rear of floor by door and 3 on each rear side panels. will be at least a couple of months as away but when I get...

Help, just been reading the lj80 manual about cam belt removal and tensioning ( definetly the same tension set up as SJ410 ), seems far more complicated than expected and unfortunatly the pics in scanned manual are not quite readable to understand what they mean Help. Talk off moving lower pulley to...

Thanks again Windsor. Going by your pic just what the doctor ordered. that mounting point or rear wheel arch, I have not got one, any chance of photo under the carpet. Guess there must be some sort of plate inside and one under wheel arch. Could you have a look to see how done as that point is not n...

Just had a look in my 1986 jap built user manual, talks about optional 3 point non retractor ( non inertia ) rear seat belts. So was an option that not many took up in 1986. To me looks like on mine should be able to fit inertia reel belts at back just need to see pics of the two floor mounting poin...

Great stuff

thanks for pics windsor, any chance of a few pics of the two floor mounting points setup, there are the two central ones on floor middle of back door , there must be two other fixing points somewhere.

Thanks

Steve
