I have a handle and could make the bracket I work in a machine shop

There is one on eBay with a reproduction crank handle. No affiliation.

@foxfab who not around much did a run of those brackets years ago. If he still has any I don't know. The engine crank handle came in two different lengths. Late FJ55 and 45/47 came with the longer version which is also used to lower the spare tire. How those would store in a SWB I'm not sure.

I made my own handle for my FJ40, and made it it shorter than factory, because even with the bracket, I was bending the crank handle (at the bracket) while cranking the truck. Yes, you need to bit a bit of a he-man to crank start a '40, at least one with good compression.

Always have the seller measure the crank rod before buying. There’s lots of Mazda (and other) rods out there that sellers are selling as Landcruiser parts.

 

[Jason Reed]

Thank you. What’s the measurements I’m look g for?

 

[Living in the Past]

Short is 850 MM and long is 1005 MM. That is going from memory so could be wrong.

Weber Sarge made a slew of the brackets about two tears back. He was working on repopping the handles and mounting clips but no developments since. You could try contacting him.


The add is for a fabbed crank and an original bracket. Seems over priced seeing as how I got my bracket at Specter for like $25. Now, an original crank AND mounting clips...,

I’ve been thinking about Kevin recently. I should give him a call.

My brackets are from foxfab.

I’m afraid IDave has passed into the realm of legend. I am also happy to say that I had a chance to meet Dave in his home in Idaho.

And yes Jason, I have put a bracket aside for you. I haven’t looked for the bulb socket, but you’re still a long way off from needing it.

 

[Jason Reed]

Sounds good. Thanks a bunch Mark. I’ll just grab when I come down with the shroud. Thanks again.

Good timing on this. I need the bumper bracket as well. Mark I'll give you a call on Monday.

 

[Obtuse2]

I could use a bracket as well if you have another or contact info for who ever makes them?

 

[Jason Reed]

@65swb45 had a few. He saved me one. I’m sure he has a few more. I think he has run of them from time to time.
