I have a tale!!
while driving the FJ40 in the city,
I reached a FJ40 red and started to talk and talk about them, it is very difficult to find this model here.
on my car told me that he seemed excellent, but I needed something distinctive ...... the Mexican twist!
turn my head to see his and this is what surprised me ..........I get stuck!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF

 

[thecrazygreek]

No 68 was the first year of the lock on the seat backs. In earlier years the driver's seat had nothing hold it. The passenger's seat had a clip that held it up right. Can get a picture if you would like.

Not sure I mention this before but the handle you made came in two styles. The main difference was the earlier was solid and the later had the cut outs. The pictures I posted for you earlier in thread are of a loose one I had. My 70 FJ40 has the same style. My 68 and the early 69 bench seat I used to replace my original trashed one back in 74 had the solid one. I probaby still have one of those somewhere.

 

[JADCRUISER]

thanks so much , and this is good for every one,,
letme make one without the holes and post a pic and you can tell me if is the rigth shape
thanks agen and as the first pics you send me y apreciate agen!!!

[89yotanut]

PM and PAYPAL sent, Thanks for the great work!

 

[JADCRUISER]

anybody know who are these? or what are for on this kit????

 

[broth9640]

Possibly go to the beam that connects the hard top sides to the windshield. The screw and nut pictured attach it to the windshield and the bolts in question might attach it to the hard top sides .

I love your work mate. I wish i had the patients and time to do one of my girls like that...

Keep up the good work

I start to clean the fiber top, and first time(15 years ago) I jus put a metal rain gutter home made hold with aluminium pop rivets, and fill with a lots of poliester resin.
Now like 1 year ago I got the southboston rain guter , and start cleaning all resin until to reach the original one,
It takeme all sunday morning and I get realy tired!!!




I try to put together the rain gutter under the top and I thing rain guter is so big , do I need to cut it to mach in the top fiber?

 

[Tireguy87]

My gutter kit was also a little big. I trimmed a couple of the pieces that were flat (not the middle joint that is angled). I also had my old gutter for a template. I laid it on the garage floor and traced the inside edge with sidewalk chalk then laid the new pieces on those lines and trimmed/welded it up. Cap dropped right in then drilled holes for rivets and seam sealed everything.

 

[JADCRUISER]

Ok thanks, I was wondering that , so my original raingutter was piket out long time ago and the lates One I made on the hard top sides mounted on the car, at this point without a jig Im going to do that agen and ai just need the popout dimension from the side panels to the etch of the raingutter and fill the gap with seam seler has you did
Thanks agen!

 

[JADCRUISER]

this is what you mean, and the trim that you did went to the rear part to??
