Treeroot recomended that I contact these guys for a part needed for a '65. They had what I was looking for and were a great company to work with.

I think that was me he sold it to. You should be able to get a new mirror cut for that frame at any glass shop.

Mirror glass thats eazy ....The rear view mirror I bought with windshild frame did not have any glass was going to have one made anyway ...the broken part was the bracket, and the mirror head was a no show !
I could weld some nut zerts into the frame ( Say No to sheet metal screws! )and use a two bolt from a 68 and later I have one of them..... I was tring to keep it looking 66 ish so far this has been on of the hardest part to come up with JC

 

[Dusty 66]

This is what I bought

This is what I got !http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f...40%20Toyota/?action=view&current=P1010087.jpg

The windshild frame was rust free and stright except where the mirror was crushen in it left a2"x3" dent in it

The bracket on right is from three bolt type 1964 to 67 fj40/45 this is the one I need ...... The left two bolt type rear view mirror is a later 71-77 fj40 after market ...JC

oh snap

there is another style as well. My 1964 FJ40 has the third style.

I know, crappy pic but you can see that it is different than the one above.

Yes i found one of the early three bolt Fj 25 & 40/45 rear view mirrrors as well but $30 and do not know if it will fit ?

Thanks JC

 

[krzyabncanuck]

This is what was on my 11-64 fj45.

No it won't fit, I have one of those on my '63 FJ40 and already tried to put it on my '65 FJ45. That sucks, it took me quite a while to find the one I have, FWIW, the mirror doesn't hang down far enough and I can only see about 100 feet behind me. The later two-bolt might be a better option.

Any chance you want to part with a wiper motor?

I'v got an I have some 3/16 " x 2" steel plate cut a 3" piece drill and counter sink for pan had bolts to bolt up to the three bolt 66 windshild frame, and drill and tap the plate for a later two bolt RVM (RVM adapter plate) and not to screw up a near perfact windshild frame and not to hold up the painter,and when I git ahold of the right RVM I'll be good to GO ! what's you think ;p JC

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Kinda lost me there but it sounds good on the puter, not too sure how hard it will be to do.

 

[Dusty 66]

I'll try pick up some pan head bolts to fab one one up this weekend I'll post up picts...JC

If you're gonna do that, might as well fab for the 78 and newer mirror with the day/night feature. That's what I did on my 64lwb. I like having a 'real' mirror more than having the 'right' mirror. It's a safety thing.
