    • Tony, have a look at your previous post on 30th December 2020 to refresh your memory. Another rinse and repeat exercise.  As I recall, the full procedure for adjusting the foot brake has loosening the foot brake adjustment nut inside the cabin using a 12mm deep socket in the initial stage. 2nd main stage is to adjust the braking shoes located inside the hat of the rear rotor. I found removing the brake caliper made it easier for turning the rotor and feeling when the adjustment was correct so that the parking brake shoes were not close to but not in contact with the rotor hat. I found making adjustment to that toothed wheel was lot easier with the rotor removed. Fair bit of trial and error to get the final adjustment to the parking brake clearance and the rotor spins freely. Last step is to do the foot brake adjustment inside the cabin so there are 6 clicks[minimum] before the parking brake is engaged. Simple test would be to engage the foot brake then go from Park to Reverse and/or Drive. Vehicle ideally should remain relatively stationary. 
    • Yes , but not sure they are genuine or china copies , i might try at the wreckers. All of our local wreckers are gone.
    • can the ruj2100 unijoint be used in place of the ruj2109 ?  the only thing i can see is the  grease nipple  in the uni cap  on the ruj2100 and the other is in the middle . some one told me that they are but i havent been able to confirm. any one  help ?
    • G'day all, Just thought I'd post the solution to my problem. I had another set of eyes look at my issue (retired mechanic who lives 4 houses down the street), and it also had him stumped after going through removal and install of camshaft. He went home and ended up brain-storming with another mechanic friend (who loves Toyotas), and he said he had seen people install 2 washers under a head bolt and cause this issue. We checked and my son had only used 1 washer, but we found the head of the head bolt stood a few millimeters higher. Once the camshaft journal blocks were torqued down the sprocket came to rest snugly on the head bolt - wow. The new bolts are aftermarket (I have left a review for that product advising of this issue), but I have to stick to a budget, as I am bank-rolling the quick rebuild as it is his first car. So yes everything works as it should now and he can continue to re-assemble it all now. Hope this helps someone else out down the track.
    • Interesting vehicle. I'd probably remove all the apparatus and find a more recreational use for all that space.. 😜😜
