Afternoon all!

Had a good weekend fussing on the FJ62. Installed the reproduction center dash bezel from Rust Farmers. No affiliation but great product(s) and thrilling to have all the plastic new and all the screw holes intact. Highly recommend. Also installed (finally!) the Fusible Link Rebuild Kit from Cruiser Cult. Again, great product - if a little light on instructions - but amazing to have the wires and connectors all bright and shiny new.

So my offer and questions:
(1) If anyone needs any of the bits from my old fusible link (picture), I am happy to pay it forward and just send them to you. Nothing wrong with them (beyond the frayed black wire) and if it helps you and your build/restoration, I'm thrilled. DM me an address and I'll send 'em to you!
(2) Does anyone know what factory option went in the blank (see center dash picture below) to the right of the A/C controls?
(3) Does anyone know the part number of that blank plastic piece? I have mine but in starting to clean it with some acetone (it had some gunk on it from the PO), it started to pull the color out of it. Works fine but now looks different than my pretty new center bezel.
(4) Lastly, does anyone have a good option for double/split USB-A or USB-C ports to install in one of the blank spaces on the center dash?

I think that's it. Thank in advance for any thoughts you have!

Best,
E

The blank panel next to the heater/AC controls was actually for more heater controls. Just discovered this recently on mud. The rear AC option on overseas models would have the controls located there.

Interesting - thanks. I think I’m going to 3D print a plate with cut outs for USB charging ports.
