Cool thanks Ray. Photo's would good. I just found this mob in the US. Their top looks great, and it's the style that I want. It works out at about $1200 AUD plus shipping plus any customs duties. But it includes the two piece doors. And it's all unzippable like you said. And the fit and finish looks ...

40 Series Soft Top

Looking to buy a black soft top for my FJ40 SWB. Found this http://www.4wdworld.com.au/products/softtops/fj40.htm which costs $1250 including freight within Australia. I was thinking about getting fibreglass half doors and noticed that it doesn't come with the option for soft windows. Does anyone ...

Thanks for the reply beanz - I was only on that site the other day and didn't see that stuff. Jeebus... that's $5.5K AUD not including shipping, handling, import duty, insurance... The fibreglass one is a little less, but would probably come around to the same price as what I can get from FRP or ...

Thanks James, but the vehicle is destined for a South Pacific Island - not to be registered for Aus.

Is it possible to buy a steel firewall, heater, dash etc. from the States? Does anyone know of any web sites? I've searched and haven't come up with much.

Thanks Jess.

I was thinking about getting a fibreglass tub, the guys at East Coast Fibreglass in Noosa will do a left hand drive version for me.

Not sure if that's the way I want to go because there's no rust in this body and the fibreglass tub is worth a bit.

40 Series Left Hand Drive Conversion

Does anybody know what's involved in converting a RH drive '75 40 series Cruiser to LH drive? It's a stock 2F petrol, with stock 4 speed gearbox and transfer.

Any info would be much appreciated.

I found someone who can do a stainless steel tank to whatever dimensions you want at a very reasonable price. Thought I'd post the details here in case anyone else is ever looking for anything like this. Tanks are built from 1.6mm thick 316 grade stainless steel and include baffles, sender unit ...
