Hi Terry, thanks for taking the time to create your videos. I am planning discs as part of my Fj40 restoration. I have located a 1983 HJ60 front axle and am really hoping I can make it work on my 1975 dual circuit drum brake 40 series. I am in the UK and new 60 series spares are easier to find than 40 so future maintenance should be easier. Hopefully I won't be buying an axle I don't need. That's the plan. Thanks Daniel
Thanks for the kind words Daniel, I sincerely appreciate it. Sounds like your project is coming along nicely. I can’t speak for certain on the 60 series axle, but somewhere in my mind I thought the spring perches were in a different location. I might be confusing this with the rear axle as well so as I said I’m not certain. Either way, it should be easy enough to move the perches if they are an issue. Have fun with your build. Cheers😎👍
Thank you mate, I appreciate you your kind words and for spending the time watching. I had an 80 Series for about 25years so it was great to see there was not much difference in the 45’s and 60’s (thank goodness😅). Episode II (out next Friday) has some clanger challenges that I have not had before. Again, thank you for watching 😎👍
Thanks for your kind words Steve, I sincerely appreciate it. Pretty much every time I pick up a spanned I learn something new too mate, so I’m loving the journey. Part II coming out next Friday, thanks again😎👍
Absolutely enthralled from start to finish Terry. Well done. You have left us hanging on the next episode. This is going to be a great project mate and I can see your enjoying it and more than up to the task. Staying tuned, cheers, Andrew
Thanks Andrew, you are very kind for saying so. I thought I was toast at the end of this episode but (spoiler alert), I did work it out. It was not easy, but I am little bit wiser for it. Loving my shed time mate❤️. All the best😎👍
Keep up the awesome vids on the build mate , iv started doing a 47 build and im going down the same path as you , really appreciate the knowledge you share. Cheers mate 👍
That’s very cool, I’m glad that the time I have put into these videos is helpful in someway. I’ll keep the content coming in 2022 and I trust you will stick with Jafffa Adventures for the ride. Cheers😎👍
They sure are Steve. And yes, I am very grateful that I have the work space that I do. I have worked hard all my life and this little sanctuary is my reward (along with the 45 of course😉). Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Thanks for commenting Martin. Part II is where the real challenges are but I’ll give you a spoiler, I worked it all out. See you next week if you are interested. Cheers😎👍
Love these resto/build videos Terry. Really enjoy watching you sort all the issues out. (No way on the planet would I be able to tackle a project like this. 😊)
Thanks Keith, I very much appreciate you following along. Half way into this little project I was scratching my head saying “sh$t, what have I got myself into!”. Got it in the end (spoiler alert for part II), but it was not without its challenges😅👍
@@JafffaAdventures Good stuff Terry. Following this resto project with a great deal of interest. Before moving to the Gold Coast, I lived in Yeronga (Brisbane). Not far from me a guy had this restored FJ45 Troopy. The rear canopy/sides were veneered wood, reminiscent of the 'Woodie' style vehicles of yester year. It looked so damn good, I couldn't help but look and admire every time I saw it.
Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it. Great idea re the grease gun, I had not heard of that one before. Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Great stuff Terry - very interesting to watch! You make it look easy, but like the new head unit, I'm sure there will be some learning opportunities :)
100% mate, every time I pick up a spanner I think I’m learning something new. I think that’s why I like doing this stuff so much, I’m not comfortable being comfortable if you know what I mean🙃. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, that’s means a lot mate. Part II, out next Friday, has some serious WTF moments so definitely tune into that one! Cheers 😎👍
Hi Terry I really appreciate your video I learned so many things, however I had to ask why haven’t you replaced the complete 60 series differential on the frame? Can it be replaced as it is on fj 40 frame. Many thanks and again great video.
Thanks for your kind words Abdullah, I sincerely appreciate it. I’m glad you found some useful information here, my next video on the FJ45 build will be coming out next Friday, so stay tuned for that one. There are several reasons I did not use a complete 60 series diff. Firstly, the spring perches are in a different location. This would mean having to cut them off the 60 series housing and relocate them slightly inboard (I think around 25mm or so). Secondly, the 60 series diff is a little wider, about 2.75”. That’s not a lot but I wanted the front and rear tyres to track true. Thirdly, the diff pinion flange, also known as the companion flange can have a slightly different bolt pattern between the 40 and 60 depending on your year model. If they are different, that means your 40 series tailshaft will not bolt up to the 60 companion flange without modification. I trust this is helpful mate. Cheers😎👍
First thing you do with those calipers is chuck them and get some from an LN106 hilux or equivalent. Your piston sizes are of equal size giving even and greater pressure. On a 60 we also add an 80 series dual diaphragm booster for an amazing transformation
I’m using a 80 series dual master cylinder coupled to hydroboost which runs off the power steering pump as per a later video in the series. Unmatched stopping force. Have one in my 57 Chev and it can put you through the windscreen👍😎

Anyone would think that you have done that before. Beautiful to watch mate!

Wow, those calipers cleaned up so well. This is brilliant, I am learning so much, thanks Terry.
I know aye, I was pretty stoked with the end result. Thanks for watching and commenting Grant, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
I love watching these restoration videos because I always learn something I didn't know. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks for your kind words Steve, I sincerely appreciate it. Pretty much every time I pick up a spanned I learn something new too mate, so I’m loving the journey. Part II coming out next Friday, thanks again😎👍
Excellent build video. Can't wait for the rest !
Thank you sir, I appreciate you taking the time to say so. There are some real challenges in part II so I trust you can join me for that one. Cheers😎👍

@@JafffaAdventures im in the passenger seat with you on the whole build with a nice cold beer . 🍺
Awesome, while the car is off the road, I’ll have a beer with you from the drivers seat😉👍
Projects are fun aren't they? I wish I had your shed Terry. Cheers Steve
They sure are Steve. And yes, I am very grateful that I have the work space that I do. I have worked hard all my life and this little sanctuary is my reward (along with the 45 of course😉). Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Another very informative video thanks Martin Thailand 😎

That Troopy sounds sweat Keith, thanks for sharing the story. Cheers😎👍
Great video Terry
Another way to get stuck pistons out is with a grease gun

Thanks for sharing 😎👍
You inspired me and giving me the confidence into changing mine in the future.
Good stuff mate, that’s what it’s all about. Good luck with your journey, it’s as fun as the destination 😎👍
Very informative
Video mate. Just a few audio issues at the beginning, couldn't easily hear you. Cheers, Andy
Thanks for the feedback Andy. I’m definitely not happy with my audio setup and will need to work on that. Thanks again Andy😎👍
