Passenger side door lock knob (1 Viewer)

[Brasi]

I am searching for a passenger side door lock knob for my 72 FJ 40. SOR.com does not carry the part. Any good leads? One on ebay but looks like it survived Hiroshima barely. Attached is a pic of my driver side knob.

Thanks,

Rod

If anybody wants to 3D image these I can print them ... very VERY cheap $1 -$2 if that

The cost it is to reimburse some material

I just can’t take on new projects

I can eventually do it ... but... you do not want to wait that long ... I was eventually going to hook up my fog lights ... took about 20 years

Lol

My driver side door lock knob was( is) broken since maybe a decade.
Searched couldn`t find one.
I use only the little screw to open the door .... works fine
... who needs a ****ing knob
Cheers

you could look for a newer ambulance door lock knob. It looks to be the same knob. I don't know if they still exist either but it could help broaden the search.

you can only buy a complete door lock....

....don´t ask me how I know
( was my search about a decade ago don`t think Mr. Toyota changed anything... meanwhile)

I found you one, assuming it's the same as the ambulance doors, from Cruiser Corps. garage sale...
Used Fj40 Ambulance Door Paddle Handle Assembly '75-'84
Is this still too expensive.
I figure you could buy the whole thing then sell the mechanism if needed.

Both mine are broken, but it doesn’t really bother me. I’d think that’s common on both fronts. I’d think there would be a market for a 3D printed version for a couple bucks. Once the price goes beyond that, I’d go back to not being bothered.

what's wrong with this ? Door Lock & Paddle Handle - Right Hand /Passenger & Inside Ambulance Handle

 

[4x4veteran]

A couple weeks ago I was puttering around and decided to figure out a way to make some handles to replace the long ago broken and lost ones to the door locks.
I was digging around and came across some leftover plumbing stuff where I founds some plastic wing nuts and bolts like these.

I drilled a hole for the set screw and they fit snugly over the lock post.
They are dark gray and look pretty good.
Red Green ain't got nothin on me.

How about something like this McMaster-Carr

If you dont´t like the look of the original naked Toyota screw on your door lock would use a longer screw

and a piece of a rubber hose( search the color of your vehicle ....or use black)

and fix it .

 

[JohnnyC]

I already have the rubber on the door handle ... don’t want to be too trashy with rubbers all over

If someone wants to do this, I still have a couple of NOS knobs I’ve been hanging on to for my vintage fleet.
