@ soulburner 200 heres some pics and measurments

Nice - spot on. All that old gear has certainly got a 'look' about it. Strong, made to last....

I'm waiting now on a heater pipe to come from Japan for my tb42e may take up to a month..!! Couldn't get one from anywhere else.. Can't drive the car until it comes in gonna kill me not driving it.. Could of braised back on but much rather have a brand new one for peace of mind.. Any owner of a tb42e I suggest u check yours for corrosion.. As if this were to happen in the bush you would be in a fair bit of strife..!

Might be able to slip some rubber hose over it and apply 2 clamps?

Speaking as a Canadian, a lot of parts are hard to find. Oddly enough, I have found that air filters are currently the most difficult (and most commonly needed) replacement part.
We don't use plastic headlamp covers here much anymore (they are incredibly hard to find for any vehicle in Canada). Cut and stick covers made of fairly thick flexible plastic are more common and seem to hold up to a lot of rock strike.

What ever you are having trouble with let me know.



Most difficult part to find is the TPS.

here in the north we have a problem with corrosion. Everything oxidizes especially the fuel pipe thingy that goes into the tank (I really need the manual) All gq models that I've found have the same problem, and I had to patch it with JB-weld and roof repair pitch. That was seven months ago and it stopped air from getting into the fuel system, so maybe it is the right solution

Yep cut the tube and fit a rubber hose over it and two clamps and drive on. In a heart beat! Infact I did that exact repair to the steal fuel rail on top the the rear spring tower of the GUIV! Try getting that out in one piece!! So cut the section out and replaced with rated Fuel hose as a permanent repair.
