rear peg mount brackets?

[Antonn3]

Hello, can someone tell me if the 89 FJ rear peg mounting brackets will fit the 85 frames?
I see that the 89 brackets have the exhaust mounting holes  rearward of the peg mounts whereas the 85 exhaust mounting holes are forward of the pegs.
I'm installing a NOS 85 FJ  Jardine exhaust and need the mounts rearward of the pegs for a cleaner look.
I have to do some  fabrication, as the Jardine exhaust is for a stock swing arm, but I have fit a wider FZ arm on the 85

TIA
Tony

I don't know if it will help but the 89-90 FJ muffler mounting point is part of the cast AL. side plate.  If you need I can send you a picture as I have a muffler off on one side at present.  As a note the 91 -93 FJ sub frame has a extra brace to additionally support those cast AL. side plates toward the rear.

I should be able to check on the weekend I have the side plates for both an 84 and an 89 loose...If the bolt holes to the frame are all the same they should work.  I am always surprised at what does not interchange given that the models look close to the same.

I believe the 89' foot pegs brackets will work on the 84'-86' FJ's. I tried the reverse of what you are wanting to do on my 89'. What I found was, the attachment holes all lined up. The big difference is, the 89' brackets have rubber grommets in a couple of the mounting holes and will require the 89' attachment bolts, washers as they are not the same type of bolts and washers.
