Tom, hope you don't mind, I modified your first post to include items 34,35,36.....Whew, that's quite a list, good for you!

I am interested in your diode mod on the fuel pump. Where did this come from? Is there more info available?

Cheers

Hi
Found that one on a German site, will try to find it and send you the link, it is relatively easy to do....
Did all the mods myself, filtering through the internet, to see what makes sense and what NOT to do..took a lot of hours of searching and even more time to implement all these in the wintertime, but, while working in my livingroom, it was fun doing it...and made the FJ a better bike....
Cheers, Tom.
