Hand Throttle and bracket for 1965 FJ45 (I know it will be hard to find)
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures. It is missing from mine, and I have nothing to reference it to.
Barely any progress. The most recent chapter has been long and frustrating. I tried to set up an Offenhauser twin-carb intake with a pair of SD40's but after trying several configurations and adjustments it just wasn't right. It was no small task assembling the pieces for the Offy intake, such as a split fuel rail, split air filter, and the dual throttle linkage, all period correct first Gen FJ40 mods. The Offy intake also necessitated that the oil filter housing be re-located. Currently though it's all yanked and sitting on the shelf and it's running the OEM intake.

Here's a couple of pictures of the hand throttle on a 1960 FJ25.

That is correct and OE for the SD40. My unmolested early '64 has the same setup. Cable runs through the throttle lever hole and below it, a barrel and screw clamp the cable below the throttle and this is how you pull it. Works the same way as WW2 and later jeeps did. Picture explains it -Found this in the 25 section posted by @Living in the Past a few eons ago. It shows a throttle cable connection (somewhat). It looks like something like part AT from the choke cable connection shown earlier is clamped to the throttle cable wire with screw AK below the slot in the throttle lever. Doesn’t look too original to me, but probably functional. And ignore the spring.
This is the SD40 I have. Is the throttle bracket all ready attached? I believe it is but like I said never had one before. If that is the correct bracket is the only thing I need is the cable? Thank you
