If you decide to redesign I have NOS rubber seals I found from a Toyota dealer and I can get you the dimensions
 
Sign me up for some seals

I would buy one or two sets. I will go for new style, or old... anything is better than what I have.
 
Looks like buying from someone who has extra from the first batch would be the way to go. Haven't had much interest on the second batch yet....
 
Looking at your old bifold thread

I WAS JUST READING YOUR OLD THREAD ON BIFOLD SEALS. i HAVE A 63' THAT i AM PUTTING BACK TOGETHER AND AM TRYING TO FIND SOME SEALS. DID YOUR EVER HAVE ANY LUCK FINDING ANY.

I was leading a trail at cruise moab and I had a guy that was the original owner of his fj 40. He is in need of some bifold ws. I sold my extra. If anyone has some of their extra they could sell him that would be cool and make his day. Let me know since he isn't a mud person

Put me on the list for some extras as well. Could use a full set.
 
Newbie here. I stumbled onto this post and would like a set of ws. I have a 65' fj40 with the bi fold rear door and could really use a set.
 
Attached is a marked-up shop drawing showing dimensions for a new seal. I basically added 1/8" to the height of the seal to eliminate the gap between the top seal and the raingutter. This modification will require that new dies be made, so I want to get it right this time...

The overall height, A, will increase by 1/8". My first choice would be to keep the B, E, and D dimensions in the drawing the same as before and only increase the F dimension. Second option would be to keep the F, E, D dimensions the same and allow B to increase. I think the first option would allow more "squish" than the second and would perform better for the middle seals.

Once I get some feedback on this, i'll finalize the drawing and workup the price structure. I'm thinking of selling single seals (42" long) for those that bought the first time around and just want the taller seal for the top (basically, i figure i'll just charge shipping on those sales). I'll also have price options for one set and multiple sets.

Also, since i'm getting back into this, I should keep the momentum going and get the vertical seals made up. Let me know if you have a good sample that I could work from.

Thanks,

Jason

Just count me in for a full set of whatever you come up with...maybe two. Who knows...the donor parts rig is actually in good shape...maybe I'll save it too!!
BTW...what material is planned?? How durable will it be and how will it age compared to the original seals?

I found some NOS in the bag ws and can get you the exact sizing :cheers:
 
Good deal. Have NOS vertical seals? Would be nice to get the verticals produced at the same time and save everybody on some shipping.
 
The material is a high quality EPDM. The manufacturer claims it is much more durable than the original. I'm expecting I'd never have to replace it since I'll store mine inside.
 
Yeah... I'll get updated specs. Hopefully by the weekend but with the pending holiday weekend it might be next week.
