No drilling necessary. The YJ hinge is the same one as the CJ. At least the
very early YJ -- yours -- is the same as the CJ.

I thought the early YJ and the CJ used the same hinge.

I get it, there are extra holes inthe CJ hinge that the YJ hinge hasn't got.
The CJ hinge can be used on the YJ, but the YJ hinge needs holes added to
support the mirrors. DUH!

Try to keep a steady hand while tapping it, too. That hinge is really quite
thin and needs all the threads it can get!
