CLICK THE PICTURE TO ENLARGE......

I have the cig lighter but what am I missing? this is an early 76 tub.

Hard to tell from the small pic. But it looks like you're missing the wiper knob. Bottom row to the left. To the right of the inst cluster, those two holes were blank. They just had black plastic plugs/caps there.

Hey Al. Love my shirts still..........click on the image and you can see WIPE/WASH up top. So maybe its a blank hole then.........

 

[alkarich]

Here is a pic of my '77 dash. Should be the same as your year. Hope this helps.

So on the left side of my dash are two aftermarket switches. The upper is for my aux fuel tank, the lower for some aux lights up front. Also the far right hole is meant to be blank.

P.S. glad you like the shirts.

Alex, here is a link to SOR. Page down to your year.

Al you have beautiful knobs!

 

[alkarich]

Thanks. Got the tip from a fellow Mudder to use an ultra fine tip paint pen from a craft store to paint the lettering. Worked great.

I'm so all over that. Too bad the plastic has faded but maybe you could paint them black again with a fine enough spray then paint the lettering in again.......somebody is selling new knobs here on Mud. I saw the post the other day. BTW what are those two togges for on the left? Do you have the BRAKE light or the throttle control that SOR shows below the dash? I have never seen one of those. I have one of those rectangular brake/seat belt lamps but have no idea how it mounts.

I've got the throttle control under the dash on my 75 and also have a red brake light in the dash and another EGR light that I've never seen do anything as of yet.

 

[alex e]

take a pic maybe?

 

[alkarich]

Hey Alex, The toggles are described in post #5 (aux fuel tank selector, and aux lights). I also have the hand throttle under the dash. Not original to the rig, but OEM picked up in Australia. The red rectangular warning lights are stock as well.

hope there isn't a rule against shameless self-promotion, but I'll make you any shape and text you like for $30...

If you need a shape other than those shown below, you'll have to send me a knob to lovingly copy and return to you.

I think you are missing the auto eject button only available in the 1976.

How about an OH s***! knob, Andrew? I think that would be really funny just sitting in there with the rest of them.....

Here is a pic of the EGR light and throttle also a picture of the brake light

Might as well do "Eject" too.

I've got one for my passenger seat heater (girlfriend's seat) that just says her name, "Kelly".

1977 FJ40 - Red like yours...
