Need pics for jack rods/starting handle clips under jump seats

[Casey E]

Your link just pops up as the front end of a 40, unless I'm missing something . Help me out here that's all I can see

 

[Casey E]

Never mind , I'm dumb . I already spoke with foxfab , if that's him on ebay ,now I see what you are saying .

Still hunting the following parts :

3 starter handle clips (springs)
1 2-row jack rod extension clip
Front bumper starter handle guide plate

If I can only borrow the starter handle guide plate I'm willing to pay shipping both ways , it will be here one day and returned to it's owner . My plan is to start making them available . May also be able to produce the starter handle storage clips if there is a demand and I can find a set . Odd no one has done this stuff yet ...

Foxfab, did the guide . I have not heard or seen anybody try to replicate the starter rod hold down tabs or any of those tabs for that matter.

Trying to undo more of the po's handiwork and figure out exactly what clips were used to secure the jack extension rods and starting handle for my 03/'77 US model . The driver's side does have 4 small sheetmetal screws on top of the rear wheel well , passenger side does have some small bolt holes along the same area . I have two clips currently but they are 3 slot types and the orientation of the mounting holes is entirely wrong , online drawings don't show enough detail to duplicate or figure out exactly what these look like . It would be nice to at least install the jack's rods and my duplicated starting handle , hate stuff rattling around in the back loose .

In doing more research , appears the guide , starting handle is part number 52171-69020 . Just for fun , going to try going through Amayama Trading Co and see what happens , they list it along with the starting handle from Japan .

Man that would be amazing if they had it.let me know I need the bumper bracket and the handle clips, I already have the starter handle .

 

[Weber Sarge]

Will do , should get a query reply in a few days .

[Weber Sarge]

Well , got a reply from Amayama Trading , no dice on these parts . I did find a couple sets of the extension clips on fleabay , but $75/pr is going to kill r&d costs pretty bad . These parts are just another thing that I fail to understand why folks remove them ...

Hey sarge I found a different style tool holder I can send you . It's for the earlier models before they came with a roll bar . It sits flat on the passenger fender , not up in the air like yours is used to clear the roll bar .

 

[Weber Sarge]

So , the '74 earlier low height style ?
Working on a jig to bend up the later tall style like the one I have this week ...

[Weber Sarge]

Is there a demand for the early style jack rod holders (flat type) . Wouldn't be hard to produce them as well as the later model tall units . Still hunting those stupid starting handle storage clips - wonder if any of our overseas members can help ??

[Weber Sarge]

Searching for possible overseas boneyards that might have these parts - need the starting handle mount clips (springs , per drawings ) and front bumper guide plate .

Still hunting a set of tool bag storage clips for the rubber o-ring/band to hold it under the driver's seat ...

Marv had this sitting on the shelf about a year ago.

It's a little rough but if someone wants to borrow it for a pattern to make a batch let me know. Of course, I'll want it back..

 

[Weber Sarge]

Looks to be a reproduction , is that the case ? If it's a genuine one , I would like to make a pattern and take a shot at making some of them ...

The jack handle clips were installed for many years but the engine starting rod was discontinued pretty quick. The FJ45 and FJ55 lasted longer. The FJ55 it was used to lower the spare. As for removing them of the over dozen FJ25/FJ40/FJ45 I've had only three had the original jack and one had the original tool kit. So if your were making rust repairs or repainting removing clips for items you don't have made sense. Hasn't been that long that these were considered a classic rather than just hunting/camping/offroad vehicle. Years ago you removed the F/2F and installed a V8 it was considered a upgrade. Today if you still have the original running gear replacing it will probably hurt resale value unless it's a rust bucket already.

 

[Weber Sarge]

Yeah , understand that - guess I'm just anal about taking care of my stuff and keeping it's parts intact . It really stumps me to see modern used cars for sale with no jack , tools or spare - I mean , really ??
There is a starting handle and guide I found , may just snatch it up so I've got at least something to copy from - issue being I'm not dead sure if it's the right one as I've read there are two different versions in length . The bumper guide will be tricky since it's got rolled edges for strength but I'm sure a die in my 30 ton press can duplicate that , just going to take some time to make all the jigs and dies required to make these parts - slowly getting there .
