As part of the rebuild on my FJ43 that I purchased from Colombia I am running into a few issues here and there.

Since I have the same spring length of the FJ45 I figured you all could help me out. I don't have the two bolt holes in the spring mount on the front like all of the other vehicles I've worked on.

Mine is a 03/80 so should be the 15mm pin with the two mounting bolts.

Please take a look at this exact post https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=8097539&postcount=95

And this one for a close up of the pin while it was in the truck

I'm thinking it would be easier to cut the outer portion of the mount off and make on that would work for my greasable spring pins and bushing that I already have. I still have to order my ALCANs for the rear but this is making it a bit more difficult.
