Is there any way that I could get some of these brackets for my 67'

Thanks Scott and 64. I'll be back July 1st and will PM you when I get back. I have 3 sets left.

Thanks

Just a thought.
A vacuum forming tool is really cheap and we could run it in our model shop at work.
If anyone has a 3D model or print of the cups I could run a few and see how they hold up.
(I haven't seen them so I am not entirely sure that they are good candidates for vacuum forming.)

Cheers,
Brog

Wow, they look great. I'm behind on my 67 build as my 78 and FJ80 seem to take up my time keeping them trails ready but its good to see what the finished product will look like. Good to hear from you. Thanks. :beer:
 
Does anyone know the toyota part number for the small rear lights? Related question, is there a site that has the diagrams for the old 68' and older FJ40?

Also, if I cannot get the original lights, I was thinking of using led lights, but they appear to be about 3 to 3.5" diameter lights? Anyone find a source?

Thanks,

Kelly
 
Resuscitating old thread for another possible run on the (up to) '72 vintage bracket with the larger STT light.

I am considering doing a small run (whatever fits on one sheet of 11 gauge) for this style bracket for my '71.

I plan on modifying the bracket to accommodate these LED lights:
Sealed, 4" Round LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, Flush Mount, 3-Function, 10 Super Diode Optronics Trailer Lights STL43RB

The center "hole" would therefore just be a 4.5" diameter circle instead of the stock shape and without the 4 bolt holes.

The old bracket is getting drawn in .dxf format so I can run it through either the laser cutter or the waterjet.

While I have no idea whatsoever of price (i would just want to cover costs) is there any interest in this style? Then I can gauge if I would just rather cut a couple out of scrap.
