I’m all out, but there are likely more at the link I Quoted above. They take a long time to arrive but are worth waiting for.
Thanks a lot ...
any chance you know someone who have the Inside vent part ???

None that I know of.
Steve at EBI Cruisers would be my best bet. Heck, Toyota may even still have stock since they never break.

Bump
These came up last night. Shipping is now $25 a pair…
I’d like to find the source where these sellers are buying them from.

Looked on AliExpress but no luck.
These 40 items looked interesting.
I don’t like that their picture is stolen from the internet and likely isn’t their own product in action. The add states no drilling, but the pop rivets are clearly visible in the pictures.
Reviews seem to indicate the cap doesn’t fit in a couple cases… but since not all 40s use the same cap it could be a one size fits all… doesn’t. Only one key would be handy.
A search of the P/N came up with [08.1980 - 10.1982] FJ45..PIC W/STEELING & FUEL LOCK
For about $30 bucks it’s tempting to see if I could have the same key for my ignition, gas door, and aux fuel tank… although I’ve only got two keys now, and for a ‘74 the doors use single sided keys with a flap.

Keys, Keys and More Keys
Anyone had any luck with reducing the number of keys on your rig? Driver, passenger, gas door, ignition, rear door..... At one point, there was an in depth thread on the Forum regarding this topic. Hoping someone has had some recent success. Currently my rig is a 78' FJ40.

Seem ok. Door locks are totally fine.
I modified the ign cylinder so I could have glow function. Minor glitch in the process, but it works.
So I can lock my doors now which is good for the months I actually have doors.
Gas cap might work with a spacer, but I didn't bother trying too hard. It's a bit hokey.
I checked out "Hilux Louvers" on Google and came up with a number of hits that vary considerably in price and shipping costs. Thgank you Bukersmurf for the heads up !

Spacer to push it further away from the door? I can’t see a locking cap fitting under the door without one.I bought 2 sets of the locks and keys.

Eventually I’ll graft in a rear fuel door. For now the locking cap sticks out the side of the 1/4 behind the wheel. Both fillers use the same cap… but with fuel at 1.75+/litre I don’t want a 80+ litre tank without some sort of lock to deter ‘honest’ people.
No the little tabs that grab the lip of the filler spout to hold the cap on are too far down. So it doesn't tighten down.
A thicker gasket might do it.
I'll grab a pic later
For the 25 bucks I paid I'm fine with just door locks and ignition tho.

I can picture that without a picture. I read the same thing in one of he reviews.No the little tabs that grab the lip of the filler spout to hold the cap on are too far down. So it doesn't tighten down.

You get a picture whether you want it or not.
That's with a second 1/8" rubber gasket, and it's still too loose.
Maybe 1/4" would do it, but I lost interest.

Toyota's for life
I just bought some of those vent covers from 4wheel auto in Edmonton. They were cheap. less than $20 for a set I think.

Excellent. I’m sure we weren’t buying from the manufacturer. We got the price down to about 23-24 each shipped by buying 20.
