Forged ahead. The 71 has foglamps, and I thought the fused connection would be a good place to connect the spot. For the oval'ed screw hole in the pillar, I cut three very narrow strips of sheet steel, made them into small L's and arranged them in the hole to create a smaller, triangular opening for the screw-kind of a homemade moly. Seemed to do the trick just fine. Wife is happy a spot is back on the car, and it's nice to have one more thing working.
