The FJ55 Weatherstrip Guide

[Trollhole]

Marshall, why didn't you go with the Fairchild profile # 0350? it looks very similar to the original, more so than the JC Whitney; am I missing something?, I have been known to do that

Lou

The JC Whitney stuff is the fairchild stuff.

Jc Whitney has free shipping.

Marshall........the pix just look a bit different and the measurments are using different scales will go ahead and order the JC whitney then......like the free shipping!

C-G thanks again, definitely can use the jack retainer.....the rattling is driving me crazy!, and my truck is also missing the lower tailgate weather strip, thus the need for a small sample piece to see if wefco has it in stock or can fab it;

Headliner retaining clips from restoration specialties. page 163 of current PDF catalog. Part# 9416. Coincidentally this is the same part number as Au-Ve-Co mentioned in other threads so I'm guessing this is a valid supplier as Au-Ve-Co does not sell direct.

my jack holder is/was a large dry rotted "O" ring that snugged my jack down, it broke and now the jack just rattles around beneath my seat driving me crazy, any idea of sources or solutions for it?

Lou

here's the jack setup on my 73 and my 76

Lou, that's EXACTLY like the part I'll send with the gears!

Thanks C-G and Nuclear Lemon; I have the piece that attaches to the floor BUT still a bit unsure of how it is held on it?;

how the jack is held so it won't rattle;

Just turn the crank and extend the jack until it's tight, you can source a rubber ring like that.

Lou, do you have the part that attaches to the floor? That is what I was going to send! What EXACTLY are you missing? Does your floor bracket have the rubber pad that the top of the jack comes up against?

Like Luke111 says, just crank the jack open until it is wedged between the seat support and that bracket.

 

[n2666s]

C-G, have the floor support, not the rubber; mine had a dry rotted large about 6 inch diameter O ring that I think held it in place.....it was broken when I got my pig............was there not a wing nut that held a clamp/retainer holding the jack firmly in place around its neck and attached to the floor part of the support?; you can see in nuclear lemon's pix on the horizontal component an aprox 1/2 inch hole where I think it went.........I was able to drive a new pig in 69 or 70 but did not buy it; just seem to remember that the jack was held very firmly not only in the vertical plane but also in the horizontal axis again that was a loooong time ago and I might be very mistaken!

here's the wing nut style. early pig and 40 series. the only thing i've ever seen held by a rubber oring is the tool bags. the two pigs i have here both have the canvas straps holding the tool bags. tool bag is under right hand side, jack is under left hand side. then, the jack tools are clipped to the bottom of the rear seat.

 

[cruiser_guy]

Lou, there's your choices!! Does your floor support have the rubber disk? My spare does if you want it. The rubber disk is not removeable, you'd need to replace your's with my spare to get that rubber disk.

Has anyone come up with a solution on the rear door small glass weatherstrip? Even separate pieces would be better than the nothing I have now...

We believe that Slocruisers out of Cambria, CA is working on those.

G_G and Inge; thanks for the input and pix; could not have figured it out....mine is a 78 pig and the jack is wedged in the way Inge shows in her pix; the Large rubber O-ring was probably to hold the tool kit; C-G I do not have the rubber piece so if you could; please send the jack support along with the gears; are there any more left?

Lou

 

[n2666s]

Inge; the wing nut type of clamp was what I remembered from the late 60s one that I drove

Jack support will be coming your way! What do you mean by "are there any more left?"?
