Windshield Hignes for Rack mounting

[MomoJeep]

I like the racks that have front mounts on the windshield hinges. But they don't seem to make them for CJ's anymore. I'd like get one for a later model jeep and adapt it to my Scrambler, but I'd like to front mounts to be a direct fit so I only have to modify tube lengths to make it work.. Does anyone know if the windshield hinge design stayed the same on wranglers after the CJ era? Like YJ's and TJ's.. ?

I have used YJ hinges on CJ’s. I think TJ’s are different, but not 100% sure

Thanks!

OK, so we know that YJ and CJ are the same then..?
Anyone know about TJ?

TJ hinges are cut different, not sure if the bolt holes are the same or not.

Maybe try these guys for a rack to fit a CJ

Anyone know if TJ hinges have the same bolt pattern, even if cut differently?

Just a quick look at Google Images, it appears they have pretty different mounting hardware locations;
