It did touch. I simply used a peice of elec. tape on the frame and banged them in. No lost paint.

That's the guy. $22.00 Buy Now price. He ships fast.
U can put a nipple on if u think that will help. Someone on mud has had his in since 1983 and still going strong. I still have the plastic ones in case these don't work out.WD40 seems to lube them nicely.
You could grind them down or you could put them in upside down, the tape worked for me.
Is there a tool/punch to get the pins in without damaging the heads?
71' is a beautiful year an yours is beautiful...
I picked up another parts BJ40 and some more doors to continue my 4 door conversion

chupacabra
Put the hard top on for what passes for winter here in Texas; need to use the 40 for a DD while I R&R the tranny tailhousing seal and do some machine work on same on the FJC.
Some of the fasteners from the hard top to the top of the windshield are now difficult to get to and tighten with the MetalTech cage in. Kind of forgot how much I really like having the top on - if it weren't so damned hot here in the summer I would probably leave it on all the time. Of course, by next spring/summer I will take it off again and remember how much I liked having the top off too!

World's Longest Brake Job
Finally finishing up the rear brakes on the BJ. Elapsed time is measured in weeks - not hours or even days. How did I do it?
1) Disassemble
2) Order parts
3) Wait for parts to arrive
4) Clean parts for re-use
5) Order more parts that can't be reused
6) Wait for parts to arrive
7) Wait for good weather
8) Do something else
9) Finally, put it back together
Before and after. Plus a modified pressure bleeder to work with the BJ brake master cylinder:

Weather is supposed to turn next week so we had to get out one more time with the top off. Not too cold and lots of fall colors. It was a great day.

A couple of buds installed new leaf springs with 4.5 inches of lift, and I was able to take it out for its inaugural trail run. It performed splendidly.

I wheeled it just a little bit....just enough to bust a birf/inner/and spindle....had a blast though!!
Mounted the Jr West Coast mirror from the BJ40 on the passenger side of the BJ42. I did the driver side a few weeks ago. Hurray! I can finally see to back up again. The stock mirrors are totally inadequate.
Sorry, don't have any pics at the moment.
