First gen 4R 88 clinometer hood/cover

Hi guys!
I can get an clinometer for a first gen 4R 1988, but it doesn't have the hood/cover.
Is it easy to get? Do you know where can I buy one? I can't find it in eBay.

You might find something from someone parting out a 4Runner

Make sure it works

Thank you for your answer.
Sellers're asking a lot of money for those, $300-$350. I'm in Europe, that means I have to add aprox. $45 for shipping. Too much. I can get one for $80, but doesn't have the hood.
If you can point me in the right direction to get one for a reasonable price, I'll appreciate it.
And please, don't throw them away, one man's trash is another man's treasure!

Housing will be less available since it can be converted to house other gauges. Would be easy enough of fabricate one, bit of sheet metal and a basic padded vinyl wrap.

It's a bit of a novelty sure, but I do use mine to gauge hills and corners even if it's not 100% accurate it's something non subjective like the butt dyno. Angles are something GPS can't give you on the spot the gauge can with just a glance.

The prices on all parts of the inclinometers have skyrocketed.

It is water over the dam now .

The story of my life I sell a Rochester Fuel Injection set up for a small block Chevy for $ 25.00

Then if I can misplace a new clutch kit for a few years they very well could be sitting someplace

If I had them I would just give them away Like those Aisin Hubs that give me nothing but trouble.

I'll never pay the money some sellers're asking now. $300-$350. Nosense.

all depends on how bad you want one.

You should give the multiquote option a shot.. you can reply to a ton of messages at once instead of individually...

Sorry Wyoming9, but I have to agree with the others.

Don't throw those away!

I bet people 10 years from now trying to restore one of these trucks would LOVE to have parts like those, unless they are too far gone to use.

It took me a while to find a radio bezel that has not been cut to pieces for my truck. I bet several bezels in good condition have also been thrown away.

It's probably too late now though....

I'm replacing parts of my 4Runner, some of them're broken. I store those broken parts in plastic bag and clasified them. I can't repair them, but maybe somebody with the right tools and the right set of skills can do it, and other 4Runner owner can use them again.

It's not in perfect condition, but the cover is pretty good, might need a coat of interior paint. And the gauges are kind of sticking, and there's a small crack on the face plate. I'm asking $150 or best offer plus shipping.. emphasis on the or best offer.
