Hi Scott is right you can insure and get your vehicle MOT'd using the VIN when I imported my 4o from Japan it was all pretty smooth just make sure your paperwork is spot on Duty & Vat first then MOT & Insurance wait for HMRC to give you the NOVA then send it all to DVLA for registration (Make...

Good luck Jim, hope your a young man ! Can't really see how bad/good your sheet metal is but there's a very useful guy on Ebay at the moment breaking 40's from Portugal and seems to have most things (smartshamu) he even has a stainless steel rear tub, having experience of repairing rusted...

That's a shame thanks anyway. Bob

Hi Tony Not quite the right part but I think it will work your welcome to the cage, how are you planning on picking it up ? I'm in Petersfield Hampshire

Thanks Tony Does it look Like the description I gave ? Do you want the roll cage ?

Sounds great can you send me a picture ?

Hi Tony Flasher is behind the pedals on the firewall, galvanised box with a brown face with 3 spade pins poking out. Cheers Bob

Thanks all. Been my daily now for the last 5 months trying to kick it in the ass to see what breaks so far just the flasher relay, got a new one coming from Japan but stuck in Customs while they work out how far to stick it in me. Off to my place in Kefalonia next week (Photo included) new...

Thought I'd better sling up a new picture of URM 470X in the new suit.

Gonna wire one in thanks for the info.

Hi Rodger Rag top was shot and and off to the landfill. Still have the roll cage if anyone needs one ?

We built it in 1999 and lived there full time for a while, planning on driving the 40 there in 2017 hence a more modern power plant with a bit more oomph for the toll roads.

Thanks Rodger Where are you then ?

Hi Rodger Got a mate in Bude will see if I can combine with a trip to see him. Any photos you have would be a bonus. Many thanks Bob

Thats done it Going for the HJ donor, car is an 88 with 120.000 miles are there any other parts I should consider swapping bearing in mind I have discs and PS already . If you need any bits of it let me know. Unfortunately not here in July will be at my house in Greece www.villalithia.co.uk but...

Hi Andy Sounds like it might be a goer. Already have a rear axle hand brake. Bob

Hi Rodger Thanks for the post The 41 is 24v and I have discs and power steering already. Are the benefits over the b engine worth the strife ? or am I changing something for the sake of it. Will I have to mod engine mounts and props?

Hi All Can someone with superior knowledge than I please give some advise on swapping a 4.0 HJ + 5 speed into my BJ41. Are the mounts the same. Will I have to modify the transmission tunnel ? ETC ETC Any and all advise appreciated. Thanks Bob

:text-welcomeconfet:Hi JJ My best advise is to look at loads,drive them all and dont buy one until you have looked at 10 at the very least. Read this forum for do & donts areas to watch out for and then take a running punt at it. This is my BJ41 JDM power steering disc brakes and AC before &...

Hi All Can anyone tell me the problems that might arise with swapping my 24V 2B with a 3B ? Many thanks Bob

Hi Is it a 3 spade fitting and of course 24v will post a pic tomorrow

Hi Chris Plenty of 24v units on line just trying to get an oem part thanks for the reply. Bob

Hi Tony Thanks for the offer but I'm 24v still working on the spade connector:confusion-shrug:

Hi Tony Many thanksThought you might like a pic now the cosmetics are done. Springs and shocks next and a small leak from the power steering pump to sort out. Also thanks to Andycruiserguy for the imput probably going downthe EMU route.

Must be someone out there that has the info I need ? Looking at getting some leaf springs made up here in the Uk the questions I am being asked is How many leafs front & Rear what the camber is. Eyelet size Pin size This is a 1982 BJ41 Thanks

Full working order now and current roadworthy certificate. It was a toss up between Dune beige and Sage green think I made the right choice. Still looking for a 24v flasher unit if anyone has one sitting on their bench ?

Still have the alloys in the workshop and yes they do widen the stance slightly but smaller diameter like the idea of painting them black though.

Hi All I have a very sorry burned out flasher unit the points just melted away on the indicator side currently working with the aid of a spade connector. Would be grateful if anyone out there has a 24v unit tucked away surplus to need. Here is a photo of the 41 in a new suit of clothesHow do...

Well here it is with a new suit of clothes. How do you like the splits over the alloys ?

Hi All Looking at replacing original seats with something a little comfier looking for recommendations and how other members went about it. Regards and many thanks Bob

So here's a few more rear quarters cut out and wheel tubs waiting for some patches. Found some rust around the cowl and also when we took off the running boards. Tackle it as we find it ! On another note on top of the windscreen frame is an extruded alloy channel, is it meant to be there ? I...

Thanks Tony Should get it back at the end of the month but will have pics as we get going. Bob

Few pics of BJ41V now that top is off and ready for the paint shop can't believe how many snap fastneners were holding that bikini top on, and the roll cage was mounted on wooden blocks Running boards at media blaster with split rims still undecided about colour metalic dark grey or something...
