Wanted FOUND - High beam indicator lens for early FJ40

[oregon fj]

Location

United States

Anyone got a trashed gauge cluster sitting around? I need one of the little high beam indicator lenses for my '64 FST. Just need that lens, but if you have a bad/damaged cluster that is cheap I'd consider that also.

I don't know what years are the same as mine, or when they may have changed, but the one I'd like to find is reddish-purple when lit, and has no lettering or labels.

I may have one of these. I won't be back home til Friday but will look then. I think your right the color got more blue with the later years.

I will let you know what I have .

Thanks, @JVZii . That's the part I need to top off my refreshed cluster. My current one is cracked and missing both ends.

That is a great looking old school cluster. What did you use to refinish the bezel?

@shelfboy1 - Is the '72 still the purplish color? Or is it blue?

 

[shelfboy1]

If it's green it's for an FJ25

 

[shelfboy1]

its a bluish color

I have one from a 9/70 cluster, but I think I recall it being more blue then purple. I can dig it out if needed.

The Purple'ish one is Named " Violet "

The " Violet Color " one is also used in FJ55's

 

[oregon fj]

Well, a "bluish" one is better than the broken "violet" one I have now. So I'll be happy with that. I have a feeling that the violet lens may be like a unicorn these days, judging by the deteriorated condition of mine.

 

[shelfboy1]

its on its way its in an envelope so no tracking

 

[oregon fj]

Got it today. It's not exactly the same as what my '64 came with, but very close. Fits fine, and is the correct violet color as well. Gonna look great! Many thanks to @shelfboy1 !

Know this thread is cold....but If anyone has a decent condition High beam instrument indicator lense for an Earlier FJ40 (72’), It would be great. I thought it would be easier to find, but been having a hard time. Please PM and let me know what you have available and $...tired of looking at one of my last unfinished things left on her. Thanks.
