I just got a new sunroof seal for the Jeep from "The Sunroof Doctor" in America... http://www.sunroofdoctor.com/ 
They might only deal with US Fords though with exceptions of the likes of Escapes and others that are sold here and there ...
 
 

Cheers Dale👍

My first point of call would be custom sunroof in maidstone. Have not been there for years but if the original owner is still there Peter he would no if seals are still available or not.

Yes & 3.3, 4.1, 4.1 efi, 4.9 & 5.8

yes of coarse only carby was 82 across the range,transmission combos were plenty especialy in the manual department,3 speed manual,4 speed,and 5 speed,also b/w 35/40,c4 and fmx in v8.

Yes the 82 FD 6 was carby.
 
I think the xe series had the most engine/transmission combos of all the xd xe xf series

nice swap when everything is there all the p/s lines and trans for c4,interesting question is was the FD available in a carby crossflow ,i know the zj had quite a few 250s put in them.

It is registered & i drive every couple of weeks to my gf's place & brothers place if the weather is good.
 
Yes it was an efi 250 my brothers & i did the conversion back in late 2012 6 months after i got it as i wanted to put a V8 in it & i was able to get a ZJ fairlane 302 complete car for $600 (the car was very rough but the mechanicals were good) so i bought it.
 
I used the engine, trans & tailshaft off the Cleveland driveline from the ZJ.
 
The diff is the factory 2 pinion 2.77:1 LSD. (goes really well on the feeway)

one of the other members need to chime in on replacement seal,but living in melbs should be heaps of sunroof places to ask or drive it there if its registerd and see what they say,oct 83 is mid series 2 builds,so a fuel inj crossflow as engine ? or carby,probly has lsd 2.92 disc.

Yeah xe series, oct 83 build & it has electric sunroof

just quickly educate me on fd its the xe ltd yeah ? what is the build date plate and is it electric or manual open ?

Hi guys many years ago i thought it would be a good idea to seal up my sunroof to stop rain leaking in anyway now i have a carport for the FD i decided to get the sunroof opened again which meant scraping the silicon away but now im gonna need a new seal & tidy it up i believe the news seals are from usa & hard to come by ive also heard about using products from clark rubber. What would you guys recommend i do about this?
Thanks in advance

I vote for PDR (paintless dent removal) also.
It's the least involved, and usually avoids re-painting - which can open a can of worms.
 
Skilled PDR technicians, can work miracles!

Have you tried the paintless dent removal option yet b4 doing the sanding/filler route?

Cheers Nath, The small plunger popped it out but then it caved back in,  I guess  I will need   to go the car-filler/Sand route.
 

nice to know i can still remember enough of it. 

This is how i have mine. Left hose from firewall to block & right hose from heater tap to water pump.

I just remembered watching this vid recently & when i saw your post it reminded me of the vid👍

The Cleveland Air cleaners, are grouped into Carburettor types, and emissions vs pre-emissions vehicles.
 
Your pics are 1975 onwards (passenger vehicles)
F-trucks (commercial vehicles) were emissions exempt, thus the pre-emission aircleaners carried over, for a while.
 
The WW Stromberg carbs were fitted to XA 302, (possibly some early XB 302's),
and mid-70's F-truck 302's also.
 
Pre-emissions = no charcoal canister for fuel vapours (fuel cap vented to atmosphere),
and oil cap open to atmosphere (crankcase emissions)
 
These vehicles with 302, had a massive mouth snorkel on the air cleaner,
Hot air intake under the snorkel but no vacuum valve, and one hose to air-cleaner body for PCV.
 
Post-1975 = charcoal canister, one way valve in fuel filler cap, washer bottle relocated to behind battery to accommodate charcoal canister,
and oil cap has hose to air cleaner body along with PCV hose
 
These vehicles used a narrower 351 style snorkel - as per the pics above.
 
XA 302 air cleaners were painted red, with a 6cyl style round snorkel
Early XB pre-emissions large snorkel 302 aircleaners were painted red same as XA,
Later XB pre-emissions large snorkel 302 air cleaners, were blue
 
I haven't quite narrowed down the paint colour change-over point, yet.
 
All 351 Air cleaners were painted blue.

Yep, Clevo king knows his 351's.  

Free.51, you are an Officer and a Gentleman.
 
Thanks very much.

Ok block is cleaned and painted and put the core plug set in tomorrow will drop the crank in and maybe a piston or 2
