I did not have the fitment issues you did (85 ur q), it seemed to fit
perfectly back there. The only issue I had was up front, the cross
members underneath hit the sheet metal and I had to file it away in a
couple places. Also the tab for the hood latch... I have no idea what
they were thinking...
As for the pins, I had to extend mine. I welded on a threaded extension
and they worked just fine.
