Recreating 60 Series Weatherstripping (1 Viewer)

FYI the hood to cowl weatherstrip is live on city racer for purchase!

Been running it for a while and its perfect. Quality stuff as always.

Does the hood to cowl weatherstrip (53383-90A00) come with the OEM style pins as well?

Yup.

Crap... gonna have to add this one to the list! Need all the door surrounds/weatherstrip so might as well..

Is there a link to have a look at for these seals interested in getting some if you will send to Australia?

Which seals are you talking about?? The door weatherstrip/seals?
Front Door Seal Weatherstrips for Land Cruiser FJ60 FJ62 - LH and RH
Rear Door Seal Weatherstrips for Land Cruiser FJ60 FJ62 - LH and RH

Also wondering if they’re reproducing the seals on the outside that go on the bottom of the window to seal between the glass and door skin?

Think you are talking about what is called the window felt (rubber part on the outside that is connected to chrome trim piece). If so, here is City Racer's offering. I replaced these on my truck recently and they are wonderful.

Thanks for the links was good reading but our Australian cruisers have the quarter window in the front so they wouldn’t work unless they can be trimmed down if possible ?

I think they can be trimmed but may not turn out the best looking. The stock ones really just have a piece of metal that is molded into the inside of one of the pieces so that it is rigid. A good, sharp pair of tin snips or aviation cutters (straight) could probably make quick work of it.

guys should check www.jegs.com. All these weatherstripping pieces are made by Precision and resold by others. Jegs seems to have the best pricing.

Not sure if that's correct, I understood City Racer reproduces (or has them done) using an original OEM piece for design. I know this because I sent Roger new OEM WS for fj40 bifold doors, he reproduced it and now sells it.

Afaik this is not off the shelf stuff from some else

Jegs is nice but it’s about supporting the Mud community for me.

The amount of effort Roger went through to reproduce the weatherstripping for the 40 and 60 was above and beyond. Not only did he base them off of true OEM pieces. There was thorough prototype testing to ensure perfect fit and sealing properties. Definitely worthwhile to not only support a great member of this group but also to get a great quality product.

Resurrecting this thread. I've bought a Cityracer front widescreen dam (no chrome), rear tailgate weatherstrip (for swing-out doors) and a pair of the seals for the rear tailgate lenses. Although none of this stuff has been fitted, it does look good and the price was excellent.

I'm wondering if the following might be offered:
-Weatherstrips for the top of the left and right rear ambulance doors.
-Felt strips - these are felt on metal pieces which clip onto the inside of the door and wipe down the outer surface of the door glasses when they are lowered or raised.

Thanks

Also, when are you gonna make a quality set of reproduction mud flaps? I'm real surprised there isn't a good aftermarket set available.

Thanks to @LCnAZ for his write up on swapping the chrome trim onto new OEM outer channels. I'm wondering if the same procedure can be done on the CityRacer window channels? Has anyone swapped the factory chrome onto the CityRacer channels? If so, I couldn't find it anywhere....

I'm pretty sure that City Racer's outer window felts sold to black out your cruiser are actually the same part number as the ones you'd use with the chrome. I don't know what part numbers City Racer sells but from all the reading I did, I couldn't find a difference.

Ok, thanks for that. I’ll have to look into getting some new clips. The ones from my ‘84 body are steel, and the ones from my ‘87 HJ60 donor truck are the white plastic. Unfortunately some of the white plastic ones broke when I removed the window channels. I’ll post up some pictures of the steel clips from the ‘84.
