We are thrilled to see the shoutout! And we thought To help everyone out watching this video we might jump in to mention that unfortunately, since this video was released 2 years ago we no longer currently stock axles of that specified diameter. However, to help anyone out who is looking for something to fit, by our estimate the axle required for this to work would be a Male-Female style axle 8mm in diameter, 60-70mm long with an m6 thread and a 5mm allen key head. We hope this helps! -Tom, Scooter Hut Customer Care Team.
Appreciate your documenting your build. I'm finished a 10 year long frame off, and was thrilled to find that you used cyanoacrylate instead of the (awful) 3M Black Weatherstrip Adhesive. I was about 80% done with rear door strips when I saw one of your vids using the glue you are using. I'm using Bob Smith Maxi-cure Extra-thick 10-15 second glue, and it's working great. So much better than the 3M stuff. And the door lock fingernail paint tip!
Awesome channel. I just found you on a FJ40 FB page and zipped on in. I'm impressed already and I haven't even completed the video. Looking forward to more 40 education. I have a '72 softtop that's complete but in fair shape. I've accumulated all the parts & panels to make it a hardtop, just need to do the work. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge, you're an ACE.
Did the glue hold up on the seals? About to replace seals on all my bj40 doors and would be great if i dont have to wait for tack off time with the weatherstrip adhesive
Hey mate. I’ve had a hard time finding scooter axle bolts that are 8mm in diameter to suit factory bushes which are just over. All the scooter bolts have been undersized (7.75mm) to fit the universal bearing size of 8mm hole, which means the bush is sloppy. Did you find pins that were 8mm or very close to? Any further details on your pins? Cheers legend!
Hey, coming along great. If that weld cracks, you might try pre-heating both pieced before welding. That looked like a grade 8 bolt and I believe they require pre-heating prior to welding, but not sure. Also, allow it to cool slowly.
40 Channel Yes, great job with the pins. I bought these, works well at least in the front door hinges, I think the size is same (Ø 8 mm pinhole, Ø 10 mm outside): a.aliexpress.com/_mLGHbkJ
They’re usually degraded and the whole lock assembly is expensive. If I were you I would 3D print a replacement (just don’t use PLA as it won’t hold up in a hot car)

Thank you mate, yes I have found this glue to work perfectly and is still going strong on the original door I did. I have used on all my door rubbers.
Good job. I have found LH drill bit set invaluable when drilling out broken studs. Often don't even need the ezi-out. Cheers, Andy.
Yes you are right Andy, I have a set at work which had saved me a couple of time too. But I don't have a set at home.
Brilliant solution for rebuilding the rear door hinges and they look great too! You may have a new product offering to sell! Thanks for sharing!
just bought a 74 fj40, your videos are so helpful. great job and thank you
Welcome to the 40 series family.
Great to hear you got yourself a FJ40.
@@40ChannelCruiser Thank you and I will probably be asking question once I get stuck with something during the build if that is ok!
@@1YoJay more then welcome mate, you can email me at 4045channel@gmail.com

Great find on the door hinge repair.
Thanks Rosendo, if i hadn't fixed up the kids scooters, I would have never known that these bolts are the perfect fix.
Superb work mate!👍👌 spot on.
You’re cruiser is looking so good! Great job buddy👍
Thanks 👍
Great solution for the door hinge. That scooter shop is going to get slammed with orders!😆
I bet they never through that one of there products for scooters would be used to fix old Landcruisers. 😅
Will definitely be getting me some of that glue. Looks the goods
I'm sure Toolking will be able to help you out.

@Elraurko Still holding strong! I have used Chemtools for all my seals.
@@40ChannelCruiser awesome, cheers for the heads up ya legend!

G’day Jase. Can you recall if the bushes for the barn doors are the same as the bushes for the front doors and bonnet hinges mate? Cheers, Brad
@bradgqute Hi mate, from memory, they are different. But it was 3 years ago, so my memory has failed me before.🤣 I have go and check.
Excelent job buddy, another great video.
Hi Jason thanks for the video, where did you get the bushings from? Nice work with the scooter pin
Hi Nicholas, I got the bushes from onlineautopart.com.au

Thanks for the tips! There is very little load on the shaft so shouldn't be an issue.
Great work Jason mate where did you source your rubbers. Doors and windows ? Cheers
Hi mate I got the rear door rubbers from all4xfours.
The brass bushings fit nice an tight and last forever. They are available in the US, not sure about Oz.
Yes I'll look at getting some made a little down the track. With this new setup it will make it and easy and quick change.
40 Channel Yes, great job with the pins. I bought these, works well at least in the front door hinges, I think the size is same (Ø 8 mm pinhole, Ø 10 mm outside): a.aliexpress.com/_mLGHbkJ
Great solution
what size was that hinge bolt? thanks
Great job!!!!
Waiting the next video
Good job
FJ40 love for ever... ❤️
Another great video!!
Where did you source the rubber from?
Hi mate, these rear seals are from "All four X 4"
Nope the 3M adhesive sucks. Hate it. Use the superglue.
ingenius!
That's not the original knob, so point the arrow wherever you want! The original part is NLA, can only get it with the whole assembly.
Thanks for letting me know Scott, Now I know it would be cool to track down an original knob!
They’re usually degraded and the whole lock assembly is expensive. If I were you I would 3D print a replacement (just don’t use PLA as it won’t hold up in a hot car)
