It appears the fuel tank straps are too short? Are they supposed to have a space between the end and the floor? I found this not great picture that shows the same condition on another 73. Is this correct?

There is a gap between the bracket and floor board. I'm thinking there needs to be some type of spacer. I might have to investigate in the new year and come up with a solution.Any pics between the bottom of the strap and the floor board? Where the floor mat is covering. I put 3/4” neoprene spacers on mine to cushion.
The suffix code should be your clue. They wouldn’t call for a 40 or 45mm bolt if the strap was to fit flush. There is supposed to be a gap.I was unable to find the bolt PN in the EPC. It looks like a 93180- ?? Slotted hex head, M6-1.0 x 40mm maybe? 93180-16040, or 16045? All the 93180- style bolts are NLA best I can tell.
Thanks for the info.
I could not find any other knob used on the hazard switch. At one time I thought about finding lighted switches off other Toyota vehicles. But on a 73 with one year only knobs for the heaters would keep it original.I am using the correct backlit headlight switch this time. Considering using the backlit Hazard switch also. Were these hazard switches used in the Fj40 in non-US markets?
