Agreed! Wish it would have made an appearance on the pre 79 version but alas...
Has a price been determined yet?
Thanks so much Matt! I got the parts yesterday, so that's one important item of my open issues list

I try to imagine myself opening the box with the floor mat in September. I can even feel the scent of the mat..

Sometime around this past New Years or there a bouts , I was Grazing for knowledge here in the Unobtainium
Thread & i ran across a Curious post from my Friend and fellow member @Helipilot . He was describing a missing part
he needed and where it was located were i always thought there was No part there .
So, ................
The Fuel Tank has a Drain Plug Much like the Oil Pan does , its a 17mm Hex tool , and there is a unusually large round hole
in the TUB around where the drain plug is located . Originally TOYOTA installed a Plastic or Nylon type Plug Or grommet
to cover and seal the large hole . part # 90950-01102
well i had never seen one growing up with various Land cruisers all my life , and started to wonder why ?
i stared looking at any 40 series i came across witch aren't many here in DC , but i did survey a few enough to conclude
the plastic plugs were Coming out by them selves over time and Not by PO meddling .................
i quickly concluded that the fluctuation between cold and hot , winter deep freeze and summer sizzle was likley
a contributor . Almost instantly i was Dreaming up Solutions with a Factory Focus Point Approach end goal result .
i decided to go with a Double Lip design and a Cold Climate spec. EPDM rubber type material .
after 2 long months , my samples finally arrived
they fit perfect and how i had envisioned when spec,d the design , Most of all they Look both Period Correct
and have a Factory Fit & Finish level .
Below is : Part # 90950-01102-R

So my machinest says he thinks he make make the power steering heat shield. Should we make it out of aluminum or steel? your thoughts?
Stainless for the win

Stainless would be way to expensive but I think steel in the original thickness would be best.
If we're talking about being a true heat shield, then the better insulating the better. Copper is the most conductive of the normal metals, followed by aluminum, then steel. Keeping it reflective would be best.

I think the idea is to replicate an OEM part that is NLA. at a cost that is reasonable.
