I appreciate it. That wheel looks a bit newer than mine. I don't think that would fit. Pretty sure mine takes the thin plastic button.

Looking for steering wheel center cap for a '72 FJ40.

Thank you folks!

Anyone have dimensions of what SOR has? Was looking at ordering one but even on sale I can't swallow the $65 ground shipping and figuring I can make one that will suit my needs just as well.

I got a replacement cable from SOR for my '72 because the old one had almost completely separated from the lead barrel on the carb end. The old cable worked fine, but it was going to loose the last few threads of cable soon. So.... the SOR replacement cable....it drags something horrid. makes...
