In the pile of Land Cruiser parts I purchased over the weekend it included one of the small triangular boots. It is in excellent shape, 8.5/10 with just a couple of small scratches on the black trim ring. Does anyone need this? Is it "unobtanium"?

What abtou Teq?

Teq, Land Cruiser, and Toyota are all registered names that cannot be used. However, I'm past that design decision. This is how I would do it:

In other words, I would extend the grid lines. It would look similar to the late model floor mat (photo from the internet):

FJ25 Hose.jpg


You may be wondering what's the big deal. It's just a hose. Well, not any hose, but the M11 size hose that is unobtainium. It's the clutch hose for 7/'70 and earlier FJ40, as well as the brake hose for FJ25.

It's completely custom built to DOT spec. It costs a pretty penny to make this happen, so I hope a few people need it!

@Racer65 are you involved in an intermittent wiper switch at all?

If you can make a solid replacement product to conform to the floor of the 40, then that is a win win situation. It will be in a Toyota, it doesn't need to say Toyota.

Just as a side note, and maybe someone already chimed in on this, but what about the original TOYODA?

:hmm:
 
What about the rubber gasket that goes between an Aisin SD40 1bbl and the air cleaner for the early F135 motors. Toyota disco'd it, according to a recent conversation with the parts guy at my local dealership.

What about making the mat with a smooth blank spot where the "TOYOTA" would usually be then sell individual letters made of the same material which can be afixed by the purchaser to spell whatever they want. Maybe sell a set of letters with 2 Ts, 2 O's, a Y and an A.:idea:

Yeah, that idea has come up and given consideration. The issue is that given the amount of wear and tear a floor mat is subjected to, a glue on solution won't last long. In addition, it requires making more moulds, more production, and adds more cost to what is already going to be a very expensive proposition.
