Looks like I am good to go then as I don't have the springs on the pedal correct? From googling it seems the pedal assist is mounted to the clutch pedal arm hence the interference.

That looks very similar to the pedal I have. To be safe, if you measure horizontally from the top edge of the ABS computer to the nearest part of the clutch pedal you will need 1-3/4" minimum. The Window Rocket will be 1-5/8" from the ABS computer surface.
I tried installing the window rocket with the included 12mm standoffs positioned to offset both the ABS computer and the window rocket away from the clutch pedal, but there is a trunk of the wiring harness back there that says nope to the ABS computer moving any further back from where it is.
Still showing 375.00 on the website. Is there a discount code or something I am missing?Window Rockets are in stock. This Window Rocket fits LHD and RHD 80 series made with ABS brakes. Final assembly has been streamlined. Trimmed some labor here and there. Lowered some of the parts costs with higher volumes.
The new price is $265
Probably still too much for some of you cheapskates.
Later this month (2-3 weeks from now) there will be Window rockets for FJ80's and RHD 80 series without ABS. The mounts are prototyped. Some revisions will be made and production will start in about a week.
Thanks for all the support!
The price is $265 USD.
$265 USD, not CAD.
Window Rocket express International shipping is live as of Friday for Canada, Australia, NZ and most of Europe. If your country is not listed for shipping please contact me here or through the website and I will enable shipping to your country.
LHD non-ABS Window rockets should be ready before the beginning of September. RHD non-ABS kits will be test fit in (hopefully) their final revision later this week. They will be for sale a week after that.

any thoughts about small batch buys for us aussies to try and reduce costs/postage etc?
I'm open to new things. What are you suggesting?
The biggest barrier to reducing the price to Australia is the 1.6:1 exchange rate. That's a little out of my control.
I've shipped a handful of these to Great Britain and they pay $199 as their exchange rate is the other way.
mmm you're right.. even small batches become challenging, because we pay GST on imports above $1000AUD, so that's going to be on 3 or more units.
This wont really allow us to save much on shipping either only doing 2 units at a time. Unless the value of goods was marked lower..
Sorry mate, it was a fleeting thought, now after further consideration, I'm not sure what could be done, other than to suck it up and pay the $$. At least if 2 of us over here lived nearby and wanted to split the postage cost, I don't see any other alternatives, unless someone else has any suggestions.

@petegangies, I'm planning on opeing my motors up, cleanign them out and regrasing them, just for the sake of saying I did it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I wouldn't buy this one, though. Apparently, "expiraiton date" doesn't mean much in Japan.

Curiously, if this is what Toyota used (or had used by the OEM supplier) in the original motors, and it only has a shelf life of three years, (mine was made in 05OCT2022 and expires in 20SEP2027) you have to wonder how the motors work at all after 30 years.

I'm on it.
I'm going to try the Super Lube Synthetic Grease with Syncolon Multi Purpose Lubricant 21030

Apologies for hijacking the "Window Rocket" thread. I still may do this, but not in my DD, even after I replace the window runs and regrease the motors.
