Title: Little treasures in a grab bag.
Post by: aviationfred on January 11, 2014, 02:22:57 PM
I purchased a box of loose nuts, bolts and miscellaneous parts to get one particular part I have been looking for. As many know some seemingly insignificant parts have become un-obtainable. The part in question that I was searching for is the mate to the part at the bottom of the photo.

Extra little bonus's are the 5 'U' nuts used on the main fairing that are obsolete, the shifter bolt in great shape, an extra set of bar ends in good shape, a reserve/choke cover and a choke knob.  :dance2: :yahoo:

Fred,
If that was a left side scoop bumper, I'd have already made you an offer. :bye:

Over here they are called "air intake protector" and you can get them from the FJ Owners club.

With the 3D printing I saw at CES last week these issues of "Discontinued" and "Out of Stock" will be obsolete. Just print the part you need, even metal parts. Imagine Randy having a metal 3D printer, Titanium doodads for the FJ. Need a new fairing, single or double head lamps, Wider than stock... It will still take many years for this tech to be affordable enough for us get FJ parts....  :cray:
