The 40 Series is a restoration favourite. Here are the rubber, seal and body parts that bring one back to life.
The 40 Series Landcruiser lived a hard life, so most restorations start with tired, sun-baked rubber. We stock seals for the 40 Series SWB and 45 Series ute, along with 60 Series parts — door seals, window rubbers, body mouldings and grommets.
Sun and dust are the enemy
Decades of Australian sun harden door and window seals until they crack and let dust and water into the cabin. Fresh door and windscreen rubber makes an immediate difference to how much dust ends up inside on a dirt road.
Do not forget the small stuff
Grommets, firewall bungs and body plugs are cheap and easy to overlook, but they are what keep water and fumes out of the cabin and engine bay. Replace them while everything is apart.
