Anyone know who is selling rear speaker panels anymore? Tried to contact BTB Product and email bounced and no one answers phone. This would be for 80-81 and may be slightly different than say pre 80 FJ. Surely someone makes these…

FJ40 Rear Speaker Mounting Plates
Made these for my 77' FJ40 to work with 5 1/4" speakers. They come with one hole in them which will allow you to use a factory threaded hole then you can drill your own holes in the tub if you like which aren't mandatory. The one hole will hold the speaker and plate just fine. 12 ga raw...

I’ve got an unused BTB set. PM me if interested.
I have a set I tried to install then removed.

What was the reason? Just curious…
The reverse light I have sticks straight out and interferes with the install of the rear speakers. If you don't have a reverse light or it points down then it probably will fit.
Same reason mine aren’t installed

Not sure I understand. The 68-72 models had a reverse light that was pretty flush on the outside and main housing was inside the tub. 73, which I think you have only has two stud on the inside. If those short studs interfere it must be pretty shallow not allowing for a speaker with any depth reverse light or not.
You are correct. I have not worked up the courage to install my 73 reverse light, I have a pre 73 light installed that sticks back into the tub a ways.

I foolishly put the reverse light from my 73 on my 68 then parked in the driveway. Assume it neighborhood kids playing that put a dent in the chrome ring and broke the lens. Back in nineties found a replacement at a wrecking yard and bought it cheap. Then seen a "Toyota Fog light" for sale on eBay for $10 dollars. Fog light was the 73 reverse light and obviously no one else caught it. I really shouldn't tempt fate and store the one mounted until the cruiser is actually on the road.
As for speaker brack can see interference problems running factory soft top bows. Picture was taken before I installed the bows but can see the bottom bracket and bolts for the top clamp goes.

That is a 73 fst? I wonder why the driver side tail gate latch and footman loop want to occupy the same real estate. I installed a drop down TG on my 73 and they are very close, you could say almost interfering.
