Windshield L bracket (1 Viewer)

[cims1970fj40]

I’m working on my soft top front door header and noticed that there is a decent size gap between the header and the corner windshield L bracket. Is that typical? Also does anyone have the part number for the screws that hold the L bracket to the windshield? I need two more for my passenger side. The hanks

Screw one out and go to Home Despot, they have a metric screw checker and a good assortment of screws, even counter sunk ones. The striker plate on my 76 ambi lost a screw, took the other one to HD and got the correct screw pair in stainless steel (did have to trim the length like 1/4" for like $2. They didn't have the cone star lock washer, but I "made one from a flat star" and used some lock tight too when installing the new stainless screws and threw the old one in my metric bolt bin.

Someplace on this site there's a spread sheet that has most of the fasteners on a 40. I printed out a copy of it yrs ago. Maybe faq's or search.

Nuts and Bolts

I have been working the on the Cruiser and decided I needed to order some new nuts and bolts. I am working on the list I found on Mud and I have an excel sheet I am working on comparing different prices for different online and local hardware stores. I decided I really would like a working list...

Concerning the gap, my microfiche shows a spacer, identified as 65815a, in that area. My personal original appears to be what once was a thick rubber washer. The screw part number is 93230-16016. The cone star washer p/n is 94524-00600.

Spacer 65815a is 90560-09025 that goes in that space. But as I remember it is just a piece of rubber and not as thick as the gap shown. I see see four different soft top headers used depending on style of door (steel or canvas) and date. Are this all original parts that went together or OEM you making a soft top?

They are originally parts that I bought off here and originally was from over seas to accommodate hard doors. The L bracket I already had but not sure if they are OEM are not. Thanks for your expertise.

Pic of original "spacers", screws and washers from my '72.

Those look exactly like the screws in my rear 76 hard top latch but shorter. They were in stock at my local home despot in stainless. I had to cold "forge" the cone washers from flat ones.

Blue set is off a 68 hard top which would match the angle of soft top with steel doors. The red FST header was told came off a 67. The windshield channel with early design would confirm that. The white header came of a 69 FST. US FST models. Red top could have purchased to doors but didn't. 69 I bought the complete top including the soft doors.

Interesting little fact the place I search I believe is Using Toyota's diagrams and descriptions refers to the doors as canvas. Mid sixties Toyota switched to vinyl including the door skin.
