Early 61 doors

[shano]

Anyone have any decent pictures or diagrams of early door mechanisms.

Photos below are from the 1963 reprint of the FJ25 parts manual with updated numbering system. Interesting enough, the 1961 FJ40 parts manual omits the hardtop doors and top altogether. I have to assume because of embarrassment over the design of the window regulators and hardtop. I own a couple of these early hardtop models so let
Me know if you have any questions. You’ll have to source a couple springs and make a couple links that attach the spring to the regulator. Hard to explain, but they’re visible (but not labeled) in the drawings.

Here’s what the regulator spring looks like. They’re always missing, but a very close match can be found at hardware stores.

Let me know if you come across any extra regulators. I could use a couple for my 1959 FJ25.

that looks like the fiber board from a 45 on the seat?
is that a non removable top swb 45? but not from 1961?
we need more pics of the rig.
