1969 FJ40 Replaced: Brake master Hard and soft lines Wheel cylinders (8) Clutch slave and soft line 2 - 3 way fittings (thanks Mark) Yes it is four wheel drum brakes with the original setup. And before you ask why no front disk brakes and new axle, my first car in...

Thank you. I have the top schematic. Mine does not have the retaining clips and I didn’t have the bottom schematic. That clears up how it should be and now to finish up the rebuild of the brake system

In my case a 1969 FJ40

Need to restore top on '69FJ40. PO installed new headliner with no regard to weatherstrip condition or rust. I used 6mil plastic and golf tees to protect the headliner. Treated the rust and replaced a few rivets. Test fitting weatherstrip over tees worked well and helped identify a few holes...

Sorry for not being more specific. It was inside.

It came off of my 6/69 FJ40.

Can someone identify this bracket. It was mounted on the tub, below the window on the drivers side.
