I am starting a new thread aside from the previous one to avoid any confusion. I hope I am not breaking any rules here by posting this in the 70 series forum since the purpose was to reproduce and sell a few of these knobs as a ONE time deal only.
As these knobs are nearing completion, I wanted to get an idea of who all wants a pair (they will only be sold in pairs). I will only have 14 pairs available. This will be the first and only run I do on these reproductions of an now obsolete Toyota part so once they are gone, they are gone. Every attempt was made to duplicate the original knob details except the knob itself is steel instead of molded plastic like the originals.
Who would want these knobs? Owners of 70/73/74 with fold down windshields (can be used on 75 series with fold down windshields too). Will be especially useful for the soft top owners as you have to screw/unscrew the knob to fold down the windshield after removing the soft top. Savea you time so you don't have to find a ratchet to remove the alternative which is a bolt.
The cost of these will be $175 per pair plus the cost of shipping. I realize the cost is high for some. I am not making any money off of these units. I am starting a reservation list below based off the interest I had so far. If the pricing above is too high then I can remove you from the list. I went into this project without knowing how long it will take or a final cost which is why I did not take deposits or reservations for this early on. No money will be exchanged until I get these in my hands. If you want to be on the list, let me know. If you prefer your name be anonymous, that is fine also.
List below will be by numbered pair.

On to the pictures. I borrowed some photos from the previous thread.
New OEM knob. Now NLA.
OEM bolt vs. OEM knob. Used for the same purpose.
Some photos of the knob in action. Windshield up vs Windshield down.

They are sturdy and will outlast your cruiser, I’ll put it that way.
