Re: Lj80 steering knuckle seals.

Ah, that's annoying. I know a lot of parts seem to cross over to the 410. It's hard to tell which don't though.

Re: Lj80 steering knuckle seals.

Mine came from Austria. I did see the Indian ones but I assume they would take longer to come. Did you get the Indian spring bushes aswell? I got a set of polyurethane ones from the UK, but I overlooked that they didn't come with shock bushes like the Indian kits do, so now I'm looking for matching ...

Re: Lj80 steering knuckle seals.

I used the old hot water trick tonight and it definitely helped, still had to force it in quite a bit, but I'm going to leave it overnight and hopefully it will keep its shape a bit so I can take it apart again tomorrow and reassemble with silicone and felt seals.

Lj80 steering knuckle seals.

Hello, Currently trying to fit new steering knuckle seals on my lj80, but I'm finding it quite difficult to get the plastic/nylon/rubber seal to fit where it should... It just seems too tight to go in place and I can't think of a way to safely force it. Does anyone have any hints/tips/advice on how ...

Re: Help finding G16b engine parts

Hi luke, welcome to the club. Where abouts in the country are you? I built a g13b engine for a samurai a couple of years ago, and the engineering company I used for the machining work (boring cylinders, skimming head and block, oversizing crank bearings) were able to supply most of the parts (piston...

Re: Coiled turqoise samurai

That looks fantastic! I like how you've kept the bumpers true to the original size but loads stronger.
