Pics of Ignition switches, fuse blocks

[cruiserbrett]

Can anyone post pic of an original ignition switch and fuse block? I'm normally a Land Cruiser guy, and in a quest to provide wiring harness parts for older FJs, I found a stock of parts that might work for patrols.

Looking for the following pics:
Fuse blocks
Ignition switches, to include key profile and electrical connection---also, diameter of mounting hole?

Out of curiosity, what does the early push button start switch look like? Don't have a lead on that, but will keep my eyes open.

Bottom line, I found some NILES brand stuff that looks close to what I could find on this site, but not definitive...

Thanks!

Welcome to 60Patrol!

Cool find! It would be easier if you posted pics of what you have since there were some variations in different years. We would be able to identify what you have.

This is the switch. Has three terminals on the back... Was going to order one to see whether it would work, but its fairly expensive shipping...

I will post pics of the fuseblock once the 23month twins finish naps... Have that in hand. Slight modifications to an available NILES fuse block made what I think will work for patrols.

Thanks. Since it has screw-on terminals it looks like it might be for pre-'68, but since it only has 3 terminals maybe not.

Left to right:
Left is pre-'68 used with the start button, start button included. 4 terminals.
Center is '68 and later. 3 blade type terminal.
Right is a Niles, would work for '68 and later. 3 blade terminals but the configuration is closer together than the connector on the US Patrols, fits later Patrols but would work for US Patrols with modification to the connector.

Regarding the switch on the left, that appears to be a cole hersee? Was that stock?

Here is the fuse block. It comes with only two tabs on the right side. I sacrificed another one for the tabs, and can add with a bit of drill work and three new screws. (Have to cut the buss bar on back to make it a 3-2-1 circuit box as far as I can tell.

Obviously the label under the cover is incorrect for the Patrol, but from a wiring harness I bought off ebay for a ~'67, these could be correct?

I do have an original Niles ignition switch that only has 2 terminals (will have to dig a box to post a picture). The push button for the starter, from what I recall, was always live, and that the reason for only 2 terminals.

I hope to figure out a few more things to order from this vendor so I can see about one of these ignition switches.

Here is a tiny amount of the connectors and terminals I have started diving into for the FJ40 crowds. I haven't yet dove into the patrol harness I bought, BUT I will happily take recommendations on specific connectors/terminals needed...

The switch on left and center are both stock.

This fuse block looks similar to '68 and later Patrols but as you have pointed out it only has 2 tabs on the right, a Patrol's will have as many on the right as on the left.

That's a nice collection of connectors!
