If you referring to where this mounts to inside the vehicle there are 3 bolts that screw into the filler neck cover I will include a picture for reference.

@DylanH239 that is exactly what I needed..thank you
No problem glad I could help! I would imagine if you use a metal tee instead it would work fine I don’t have any experience with doing so however. Essentially this is how it should look then I bolt the canister to the cover plate and then the cover plate to the vehicle.
I put in my rear view mirrors. Started out as an aftermarket parts project, then reading old threads and checking with Toyota, I never knew how affordable they are, I should have done this decades ago. Honestly, the factory hardware isn’t that impressive so I replaced it. I also chose not to use the windshield frame mounting screws. Those have been in there since the day the truck came off the assembly line and I’m not messing with them if I don’t absolutely have to. I used the Doyle 8mm rivnuts instead. Also used some rubber washers to seal against the body and shim the brackets because the rivnuts install about 2mm proud.

No real reason to put these on now other than to get them off my workbench before I break them... considering the condition the vehicle was in when I got it, they are in decent shape

Not sure how I missed this before: two small holes next to the emblem. They are very clean and placed identically so they would appear to be factory - couldn't find anything that would go there???

I finally got my fj40 engine swap done as of Sunday/Monday No more leaky worn out SBC now it has a beautiful 2f. Its running and driving! I apologize about the vertical video quality.
Imagine the frustration of enjoying a drive with the windshield down and suddenly the sunvisors start opening…. the first world problems we have to deal with. I fabricated a pair of straps to hold them in place. I repurposed some MOLLE webbing & buckles from an old USMC flak vest, sewed them up, and screwed on couple of stainless steel footman loops.

Tactical solution.
I finally got time to take the jumpers out and give the frames a fresh cost of paint. Went with black steel-it rattle can and the frames turned out great. I also painted the back plates a nice grey that matched the wheels pretty good.

Mine broke exactly like that. I tried to glue it but the tension from the fuel lines was too much for the plastic. I ended up replacing the tube with this:
ICT Billet Quick Connect https://a.co/d/2br6zkA from Amazon. It filled the hole and epoxied in place.
Things have been weird.

The detail is outstanding, hand made in Japan.

Mounted a 33x10.5x15 Maxxis M/T to replace a 35x10.5 mud hog tire I was going to use on my cruiser but wasn’t going to clear the garage with a top on. So now my cruiser looks like this with the 4in left I have.

Worked on fixing the vent windows on both of our early-style front doors on our 1970 40 series. The little metal stoppers that keep the vent window from opening too far weren't put in when I assembled the doors a couple of years ago. That was a very dumb mistake on my part because the doors are so much easier to work on when they are apart and laying on a flat surface. Anyway, the challenge was to try and insert the metal stoppers and nylon washers without removing the doors or totally separating the top half from the bottom. (I didn't want to remove the weatherstripping) After removing the vent windows, I was able to raise the top frame enough to expose the inside bracket for the vent window and carefully insert the stopper and nylon washer. Then reposition the vent window so that the stud indexed with the stopper. Then re-assembled everything. The first go-around the vent window didn't open very far before hitting the stop. So I took everything back apart and flipped the stopper. Now the vent windows fully open before hitting the stops. (I'm not sure if this is correct but they seemed to work okay) I also tightened the retaining nuts to put more pressure on the springs so hopefully the vent windows will stay in position at highway speeds. Also, applied some Bob Smith Maxi-Cure to hold the bottom of the weatherstripping in place. Finishing touch was installing a pair of City Racer hole covers.
