That black bracket isn't required for the FJ60. Easy install.
The bracket can be installed.... it just isn't required. Mine's been working fine for 26 years without the bracket... I don't remember now why I didn't install the bracket. Maybe just lazy.
the bracket is there to keep the jacket from moving, so the cable is actually pulling the throttle. would work without, but if you have it, you may as well install it...
I NEED one of those brackets!
Discontinued.
And you just happen to have the last one available in NA in your possession.
I already checked with beno. Anyone have one?

I bought one with the bracket from some vendor on mud a couple of years ago. It looked like an OEM kit. Damned if I can remember right now though. I do remember having to bend the bracket and modify the mount holes a bit so it would allow full return to idle.
sor sells the kit but it is 160 or 180 all I need is the bracket I removed mine from an fj62 and the bracket will not work on an fj60. the problem most people have when installing these with the throttle not returning to idle or idling too high is actually an incorrectly installed accelerator linkage rod. The rod that goes between the carb and the long rod which comes up the firewall from the pedal can be installed 180 degrees out. Your throttle pedal will actually be positioned considerably higher than it should be if that rod is installed backwards.
Nah... those metal parts have been disco for quite some time from Toyota.

I just had that rod out the other day for a different issue. I thought about that it could possible go in the wrong way but that would have made the vertical rod not plumb, it would have had a lean to it. While we are talking linkage though, there is a big bolt under the gas pedal that acts like a stop. Is there an adjustment procedure and spec for this bolt?
that rod should be positioned where the longer pivot arm is at the carb and not at the pedal I had mine installed backwards for a little while and flipped it around when I put the hand throttle in. no clue on the bolt under the go pedal
Anyone adapt a 62 hand throttle to a fj60 pedal? Turns out the hand throttle I have is for a 62 and looks like the cable itself is about 1cm to short to connect with out activating the throttle linkage.
