I love that brochure. Its such a great one.
Hmm.We recently did something crazy and awesome. We modeled and remade the early super large battery hold down wing nuts. They are stainless steel. This was a really fun project to work on. On the outside it may seem a bit nuts to reproduce a wing nut. But these are a fun detail on the 40, they have a truly old school look and feel, and beefy as all hell which also makes them really nice to use.
They are M8x1.25 thread so they should work for more than just the early 40/45s.

40 series battery hold down wing nuts
Cruiser Cult is proud to offer this super rare and awesome part for the 40/45 series Toyota Land Cruiser community! These extra large ear wing nuts were only offered on early FJ40s. However, they fit on all M8 battery hold down studs. These were faithfully modeled after the original nuts and are...cruiser-cult.myshopify.com
I am actually working on a stainless steel one for my 65 40. I have been using a hold down from a chevy but I feel like it doesn't hold the group 24 battery in my 40 that great. I'll report back when I have a good model . If you need one in a pinch though, definitely look at the early Chevy/GMC battery hold downs, they also mount length wise.Hmm.
Do you have the battery cross bar? The earlier 40s support bar went lengthwise. I have a piece of wood for mine.![]()
Stainless would be great. Keep me in the loop!!! I can wait.I am actually working on a stainless steel one for my 65 40.

It sounds like they made their quota!? Looking forward to seeing the finished product.Tomorrow is the last day to buy a body mount kit in the pre-order. After that we are closing the listing and will get going on getting them into production.
Thank you all for the support and we will be working hard to get these kits to you as fast as possible.
