I have a 67 FJ40 that I am installing power steering on. I am looking for the best place to buy the plate that goes on the firewall. I have checked a few places but no luck. If anyone has a pic maybe I can make one. Thanks Ron

this is Wardens adapter, converts the 3 bolt to 4 bolt and spaces the booster out. If you can still get one its worth the money(paid $85 I recall)

Power steering.... :flipoff2:

Anyway, the plate I have used came from AA, but you can really easily fab one from a piece of 1/8" mild steel

I thought he meant this-

Check out this thread, page 2, pics of a 65 fj45 with a fabbed plate/bracket like you are talking about.

ummmmm.........power brakes..........power steering..............its all the same:flipoff2:

never mind:rolleyes:

You wanting saginaw plate or Minitruck?
I'd call one of the smaller vendors for a custom plate that welds onto the front framehorn or make your own.
The advance plate is Cast.. If you run the easy and cheap advance plate just be careful that someday you might need to use your winch cable to hold the steering box onto the frame to get off the trail.. Ratchet straps just are not quite strong enough to hold.. But the winch cable does a pretty good job..

he's looking for the firewall plate to hold the steering column on pre 9/'72 FJ40

I mean the firewall plate. I am going to check out Downeys. Thanks

Here is the hole set up from S.O.R.

I think it's time for some bootie fab!

That is usually the response after seeing a SOR price.:eek:

Make your own if possible----super easy if you have the tools.
Use your factory 2 piece one to scribe the holes to bolt it up again. Plus you can raise or lower the column hole to your desired angle.

Damn! Specter wants 68 bucks for that 7dollar bearing!:eek:

Have you thought about an S10 tilt colum? You can find them in the junk yards for $40

Contact Ron Diaz at CustomCruisersFJ40.

He makes a really nice one for a decent price..
