What are the little studs called that are used on the body to hold the original soft top? Anyone have a source for them?

I though Esteban posted something recently but I can't find it.
Not sure if I will get there.

I never heard that name! I added it into the parts database so it doesn't get lost

I’m guessing that gauge number is the pin diameter? The pin on my rear seat strap is 4 gauge.

Nissan Patrol / Toyota Landcruiser transfer case / gearbox

This is an interesting 'for sale' that came up on Gumtree (Australia)

NISSAN Patrol G60 transfer case bolted to Landcruiser 4speed. Conversion done by Kiewa Valley 4x4 in the early 90’s. Been sitting for just over 25 years. Buyer to remove from our shed. Pick up Worongary near exit 75.

What are the threads to the shifter knobs? The transmission, 4WD selector, etc.

For anyone in the future - The 3-speed shifter is 3/8-24 and the transfer case shifters are 5/16-24.
