There are some places you can get Parts in this region.

There is a company in the south of holland about 4,5hrs drive from you that sells used parts and some new. I could try and help you to find out what he has got from your list and for how much.
Let m know if you are interested.

Just found this thread. Nice project! This FJ 40 looks just like ours (1962). Is this an original french or european FJ40? When did they start importing FJ40's in europe?
I should be able to measure some things for you, but I don't know what you need to know exactly. Can you post a picture which size you need? I can't compare because our 71 and the 62 are not at the same location.
Waiting for time: can you tell me who the landcruiser parts supplier is you talked about? Do they know something about the early cruisers?
