thats cast iron - I’ve never welded cast before and not really sure what that would entail, but I’ve always heard it’s a challenge.

Cast is notoriously difficult to weld due to needing to be preheated, and the possible alloys that it could be as well. If done improperly, it can crack. I'd let a professional do it since I would consider that a pretty big safety item. Or just find a new knuckle.
Tears in my eyes. My first car was a hand-me-down White 1964 356B. I had it professionally nuts and bolts restored 1984, but sadly it "exploded" and burnt out while an ex girlfriend's father who owned an identical one, was delivering it to my new house. Just boom! Caught fire at the traffic light and burnt so fat and fierce he could not even get his overnight bag off the back seat. Suspected fuel leak. Loved that car.Turned some wrenches, went on a beer run and spotted this little toy.

I can't tell if that's an original or replica but seeing how close it's parked to other cars... I'm gonna go out on a hunch and say replica. Still super sweet and is on my wish list.Turned some wrenches, went on a beer run and spotted this little toy.

Looked like a real deal, the interior was gutted like it was an ongoing project, overall up close the rig just had that "old" look to it.I can't tell if that's an original or replica but seeing how close it's parked to other cars...

Wow, that's a brave driver parking that close to other vehicles seeing as to what these are selling for now.Looked like a real deal, the interior was gutted like it was an ongoing project, overall up close the rig just had that "old" look to it.

Odd you are having that issue. The material must be much thicker than the canvas top. This is the channel for my soft top.After I got my soft top from Julie@DirtRoadTops and bow set from RealSteel Cruiser Parts and powder coat from Bayou City Coatings, I found the windshield rail needed to be raised a little bit. The seams in the top fabric are catching on the windshield wipers (early FJ40) when I put the top on.
I solved that problem and caused another one. Now I have wind and rain coming in through the gap I made. So I did it over and put in some air conditioner sealing foam. All I have to do now is drive in the rain again and see if it works.

It’s the two seams where the material is folded over double, so it 4x thickness. I have the same channel.Odd you are having that issue. The material must be much thicker than the canvas top. This is the channel for my soft top.

"Necessity is the mother of invention"
If you don't have it, you'll figure something out.
Yesterday I received, stripped, painted and mounted my "new" SOR style brush guard. Very happy with the outcome. Thanks @JKIII FJ40!View attachment 2655509
