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.
