Greets from The Murray:
Just picked up an '87 HJ75 and am in the process of tearing her down to clean up the bush-rot that is typical of the model (floor pans, windscreen surround, under the battery tray) and the windscreen surround is beyond reasonable repair.
- Checked with Toyota and the OEM piece is discontinued.
- There may be a few repairable pieces with the wreckers around the country - but we have not found one yet & we've lookin'.
- FRP makes fibreglass surrounds and Mick's gear has a good reputation.
I would prefer an OEM piece, but barring that does anyone have any comments on/experience with these aftermarket pieces?
Or any other suggestions?
Cheers,
~R

- She has a factory snorkel so would like to find one with the set-in nuts for the top mount.
- There are aftermarket steel pieces from Taiwan.- FRP makes fibreglass surrounds and Mick's gear has a good reputation.
