87 YJ - Windshield Tie Down Size

[IAPRLJAMR]

Hello,
I’m updating my hood pieces and the windshield brackets I have got from Quadratec do not fit. The screws are both about 1/4” too short to fit into drill holes. The hood that came with the jeep is a different white and may not be original, perhaps a TJ. Does anyone know where I can find a bracket (black) that has posts that are approximately 3 3/4 apart? Thanks for the help, this has been driving me crazy.

Looks like there are two different size foot men loops 3-1/2" and 3-3/4". Give this one a shot:

the comment section says it fits 3-3/4" hole spacing. Btw, that's definitely a YJ hood. It may have come from a later year YJ, possibly a 1995. I think late production builds had different hood hardware in anticipation of the TJ.

Thank you so much! Just ordered them from Q.
