BOC can help you out with one 

I have considered that route but really don't want to risk breaking an axle since everything has to come out of Japan.

Going to grab a Carry or similar kei trucks diff and see if they use the same housing/axle splines/prop shaft flanges.

That or wait till another complete Minicab/clipper/townbox diff comes up on Yahoo Japan and get moonlight to bring it in

This wee truck is so call I want one!!! Not sure what for just want one.

 If a deal pops up i say do it! Find myself making excuses to use it, even made some money off doing pickup/deliveries for mates.
This ones been really good on gas (even if doing 5.5k @ 100kph) been getting 7.8l/100km no matter how hard i drive it.

Picked up more ridiculous loads from Bunnings.

Had the week off work so grabbed my welder back off my dad and started making some things starting with a rear lumber rack.
Between my helmet intermittently turning off giving me arc eye and not touching the welder in 10 years my welds weren't pretty, flux core didnt help either.

Hit it with a grinder and rattle can, hasn't fallen apart yet :badgrin:

Finally decided to replace the old exhaust with a custom one. Seemed to make a difference replacing the cat converter with a reso, decent sized muffler and moving up from 30mm to 45mm pipe.

Very happy with how it came out, didn't want it too loud.

What a great page, Grandad in Tonga has one of these mini cabs, was wondering if you could help, the brakes 0E96B5CB-605A-42E5-B649-BD93A460AED8.thumb.jpeg.d72e0c09b32f2f23ef496ad7a3663914.jpegare average and not creating good pressure. Have been told he need a new brake booster but have no idea where to get one, any help would be very much appreciate thanks

Parts are hard to find for them over here, i've imported most of my difficult parts from yahoo japan.
Oe number for the booster is MR370408, from what i can find over $1k new.

Could try something like this if 2nd hand is ok.
