Re: Drilling out YJ windshield hinges for CJ mirrors
Good call. I just checked a mail-order catalogue and they list the hinges
as fitting "1976-95 CJ & YJ Wrangler. /Includes mirror holes/"
I guess it depends on how badly rusted the existing hinge screws are and
if ABanks' time is worth US$60, plus shipping and handling.

Depending on how old your YJ is you might be very thankful that you
pulled the old hinges completely off. The rust behind mine was insane
compared to the rest of the body. Literally 99.9 percent of the rust on
my YJ's body was behind the windshield hinges.

I pulled my hinges off too to check that. It's a YJ tub on a CJ and wasn't
sure which windshild they used. But everything looks real good and solid.
