Wanted WTB: FJ40 Main Roll Bar hoop with brackets

I'm looking for this factory main roll bar hoop for my 78. I just need this main hoop in decent shape. Some surface rust is ok but not bent. Let me know if you have anything. Please excuse my expert artwork! Thanks, Wes

I have a nice bar complete with pads. You are welcome to come pick it up for $50.00. Or I can box it up for a fee and get a shipping quote.

Belmont - If 85RokToy isn't interested, I'd be interested in the main hoop + brackets for the rear hoops (don't need the rear hoops). I'm up in Charlotte...do you make it up towards upstate SC at all? If not, at the price of gas I'd like to know a shipping quote. It will match the one in my 6/79 FJ40 I presume?

FYI the roll bar changed a little in 79. The main part of the seat belt attached to the hard top in 76/77/78, while starting in 79 it moved to a bracket on the roll bar.

I don't know anymore myself. Is your roll bar black? I know the color change happen in 1/79. I have seen people post that their 77's jump seats had the fold down leg and then seen 78s without it. Early 80 hard top panels for sale with backet for the seat belt and then 79s without it. It's hard to say the reason. I can say for sure that there is two styles of roll bars. All my black ones don't have the seat belt bracket while all my grey ones do. I'm also going by the fact that SOR shows the change in seat belt in 1/79. could you post a picture of the part of the seat belt that goes on the inside. My is 9/76 production date and didn't come with three point seat belt but I plan on updated it to three point. I wondering' I've got the a clean 77 hard to put on it since the 76's is dented up. So I have the bracket for the main part of the seat belt, I just wondering if the other two points are on the seat or on the floor.

If you are still looking for a stock roll bar, I have a 78 '40 with a nice clean bar and pads and all the mounting bolts . No rust. I will remove it from my cruiser if you want 'em. Will take 65.00 plus the ride or come and get'em in Knoxville, Tenn................................................................DAVE

Well, I know mine attaches to the bar on the top and to the seat bracket on the left, then to the buckle. It is black too. I'm not really sure about the other designs either. My bar is black though and my rig is an 11 of 78. Good luck with it.

3daman, I already bought a roll bar. I still need to pick it up though so if this one doesn't work out for some reason then I'll def give you a shout. Thanks, Wes

The seat belt could always attach to the top of the rollbar. I know the the 79s and later the main seat belt housing ( the part that the belt rolled up into) was attached to the a bracket on the bottom up the rollbar and nothing attached to the seat. The belts attached to the floor besides the two points that were attched to the rollbar. The advantage if this style is the seat belts could be used with the top removed. The 76, 77 and 78 attached the main housing to the hard top side. I have both types of rollbar bars stored under my cabin. I will take a couple of picture this weekend and post up the difference.

I posted earlier that my was a 9/76, I meant to put 9/75. A 9/76 would of had three point seat belts.
