just more pics of unwanted rust in which I bought the fix for from CCOT. the hardtop pieces will be custom fabbed. Since I could not source the rubber weatherstripping for inside tracks of LX side sliding windows I am going to see if the ones I bought from SOR will work in which they are the same length and height? They state they are for 76 or older cruisers but measurements tell me they should fit so my fingers are crossed?

Here are those promissed parts Rob.
This one goes at the top
and this one underneath ..
Today I discovered that whoever replaced the ones on my vehicle in Aus, had mixed them up and fitted the wrong one at the bottom, which kinda explains the reason why it was crushed ...
Correct one at the bottom

holy cr** Theo, you are the man, now hopefully I cant get those parts, I will take those numbers and try and source if not I might have to ask a favor? Let me try my local Toyota dealers?
Thanks brother!!!!
I am puting the hardtop off for awhile and gonna go with just a softtop for now for the body shop said it will take many of hours to fix and they already have over 100 hrs in my tub and stuff.

I haven't read any of the posts, but was merely looking at the photos....
The lines that run from the "throttle body" to the injection pump should have clamps put on them or they can blow off with the turbo.
Make sure that your diaphragm is in good shape as well.
Your work looks to be very nice. I bet you have 100s of hours into that.

Pleasure Rob, anytime, if you cannot find them then we make a plan as they are freely available here for the zillions of 3L's and 2L's around here ......
Mate, it looks like normal plain old plastic/nylon to me but a buddy who is in the high voltage electrics game just hinted that those isolators should be available at most specialised electrical connectors outlets in plastic/bakelite/porcelain etc ...

bodywork pics
had the underneath and inside of tub applied with rust bullet and will now get poly primer and then linex. so where you see the gray is the RB treatment. the softtop poles and trailer will be sprayed with poly primer as well and then 2 stage Toyota 033 White. The bumpers and dash pieces will get the CCOT silver/ pewter paint. I have to get new wider fenders made for the CDN M101 trailer since I put new hubs on it to be able to use stock Toy split rims so I have one spare for both. He should be finished with all by end of next week? They are still waiting for my hood and I need to source a good non rusted BIB and rear half doors to use with softtop.
