Want to buy the linkage components inside the red circle. This is for a 1962 FJ45 RHD, but I am reasonable sure that the parts from a LHD vehicle are identical.

Linkage from years '62 up to '66, FJ40 or FJ45, should work (if it doesn't, hopefully we can make some mods and make it work - we have nothing now - Anything is better than nothing). Let me know what you have and how much I need to shell out for it. Thanks

I just sent a floorshift conversion to a doctor back east who will be removing the components you are looking for from his FJ45. I will try to remember to call him Monday to see what he wants to do with his old parts.

You might have to scroll up and down a bit from this quoted link in my build to get full context, but I went through this with my early LHD ‘63 45 build (which is really a ‘62 parts wise). That FD shift linkage changed sometime in mid- to late ’63 or ‘64 as best I was able to ascertain. The link (part X) shown above won’t fit your ‘62, there will be interference with the FD unit itself - unless the RHD is different setup from LHD which I have no clue of.

"Seek and ye shall find" I was wrong in post #341 and deleted the comment. Lo and behold I found the shift shaft. JohnView attachment 1911986View attachment 1911988

65swb45, were you able to get a hold of the doctor? Still looking for these parts. Thanks

@joestewart if this doesn’t pan out, I have the needed linkage parts. John

Somehow I got the impression that you had taken a step back from this, so when I talked with him, I didn't bother asking.
