Thanks Jeff, That's the one. On the left side is it just surface rust or pitting? Looks a lot better then mine in either case. On mine it's rusted through all the way.

Looking for front seat swivel brackets / hinges for both sides from front passenger seat. From driver seat will also work as a last resort. Hoping that someone has a butcherd front passanger seat frame and won't mind cutting them off.

Do you need one to make a replica, or do you need it to keep?

Hi Gabe,
Not sure many folks are looking for this so my best option is to find one for myself. I will make replica as well if more of us need it. Or if some one is keen in making replica in USA, I will happily buy one.
Cheers.
My 1960 fj25's both have it on them. I could look at having a replica made for you if you like. I just don't want to sell it. I forgot you were not in the U.S.. if you were I would just send it to you to have one made.

Cheers Gabe, I have an address in USA where you can send it and I can get it shipped from there to NZ. But it's even better if you can make a replica then I can just buy one and won't have to send back original. Also I am pretty sure few more members would like to have one. Bracket should be fairly simple to make, doesn't look any complicated in design. Thanks in advance. BTW - great job in scoring 3 FJ25's. It will fast track your resto project. Unfortunately I don't have that opportunity in NZ.

I will pull it off and replicate it. Did you by chance make any extra tail light brackets?

1) Driver seat frames can be made but replicating swivel hinges & backrest sheet are the problem.
2) I just got licence plate frames made (Check last page of my build thread) and working on mounting brackets. NZ number plates are wider than USA therefore stock rear mounting location won't work for me hence I am making my own custom bracket to mount them on tailgate (more like a BJ Jeep type of bracket), rest of the plate will be same as stock. Saying that I have got pattern for rear stock mounting bracket and can replicate complete package minus license plate lamp bracket.
3) Tail light brackets are just the mini version of trailer socket bracket. I can get those made for you or can provide measurements and you can make them there.
I have got access to a great engineering facility here but they are very reluctant in undertaking small and one off jobs. Therefore if I persue them then they take lot of time to deliver and very expensive too. I got few things done thru them for myself and some other mud members and they turn out exact replica. At the moment I am project managing early soft top door frames and door surround channels for few friends in USA.
