I am going with the FD that BugR so generously is gifting me. Gonna swap out the ring and pinion from that Venture FD into my FD. I don't know what year it is.

Thanks
The Royal Star Venture gear ratio reduces RPM's 10%. The final drives are not interchangeable but the ring and pinion are from the one to the other.

The McMaster-Carr stainless Belleville washers were identical dimensionally to the originals. I installed them in the same orientation with some marine grease on the stem and on the
rotating area after cleaning the rust out of the detents. Smooth as butter.
McMaster-Carr has replacements, I just put new washers in mine due to the rust. The M-C washers are found under the listing of Belleville (sp?) washers. The ones I chose were stainless steel so won't have to worry about the rust. They come in packs of 12 so I bought 2 packs since there are 16...
Thanks Philter and Uncle Hud, I have checked those forums, nothing yet.
I will throw out one more question: Are the lids for the FJ 09 cases available separately? Does anybody have a part #?
Thank you all
