Sandwiched Body Mounts

I will look into the CARS versions next order I place with them......

 

This looks like a nice bushing kit.

Then pick up the bolt kit.

Not enough bolts in that kit for a Buick.....needs 2 more for Buicks.

 

Plus the bushing kit is missing the deep dish one specific to under the door.

Also. the bolt kit has unnecessary washers (bushing kit shows them molded into the cushions) and does not have the different length bolts (qty. 2, shorter) for the deep dish cushions.

 

So is this the deep indent bushing?




and this is a regular mount?

 

I just bought that exact bushing kit 2 weeks ago from CARS from their eBay store for a '69 GTO. The bushings looked pretty good to me but haven't installed the body yet.

I bought my bolts from Todd. 2 long bolts, the rest were shorter. A GTO uses 6 unbolted cushions (but can be reduced to 4) vs the Buick which only has 4 (and can be reduced to 2).

 

This kit should have enough and it is cheaper than purchasing the bolts singular.

Gary,
it is the top mount.
I just went through this as I just put the body back on my 72 Zone car this last weekend. I used the two extra after I purchase the two for under the doors in the rear where the cushion was.

There are 3 different length bolts; radiator support, under the door, and the rest.

Inline 12477 is the common flat top mount. 12476 is the indent mount under the door.

Edit: I don't think we have a smaller one for under the trunk? My 70 assembly manual and later (64-72) parts book does not show a smaller one either. I think this is only a Chevy and Pontiac thing

 

I'm looking at stocking the Inline Tube Body Bushings as well and will have a kit soon that includes there bushings and the 2 Different size Body Bolts (Plus Core Support Bolts)

I do have a couple different Body Bolt Kits no available as well for those of you that just need the Bolts.
One kit will have Bolts AND Washers in the event you're using Body Bushings like TPP that do not have molded in washers and the other Kit will just be the Bolts and a bit less $$$.

Once I have these items in stock and in Kit Form I'll post some more info!

 

Scott, what Bushing (From Inline) is the correct Bottom Bushing with the Molded in Washer ?

 

Todd,
inline does not have the molded bottom bushing. I think someone just started making them beside Cars, maybe dicom???
Inline may be starting them also??

Ok, I'll do some checking.

I WILL have some other kits offered besides the TPP Version soon. . . .

 

Todd, I did some double checking and need to make corrections to earlier posts. If you decide to do a kit, here are my suggestions:

For bolts, B11631 at the radiator support, B11629 for all others, unless you can find a flanged 7/16 that's 2.375" like GM 3902231 for under the door (but I have 11629 at #3 and with the proper cushion with the molded-in washer which doesn't squish as much and I do not have a bolt poking thru the floor).

CARS BM644A-2 molded-in washer cushion for all lower cushions that require one.

INL12477 for mounts at the radiator, #1,2,6, and #7, common flat top mount.

INL12476 for #3, deep indent for under the door.

INL12475 for #4 and #5, solid mount

Optional: bolt-in set for #4 and/or #5. My 1970 had a nut at #4 which I converted to bolt-in but not #5, some later ones I have read have nuts at both #4 and #5 (11629+644A+12477)

 

Thanks Scott.

I do have those Bolts in stock so no worries there. I offer two Body Bolt Kits......1 With Washers and 1 Without Washers .

I'll place an order with CARS and Inline Tube in the very near future will have another Body Bushing Kit on my website.


Thanks again for your input on this topic!


More Kits coming soon!

 

I got the CARS bushing kit in hand and ordered the Inline Tube mounts yesterday as well. I'll post photos when they arrive.

 

Was there a Kit offered by CARS ? or just order them individually ???

 

I understand that the CARS kit does not have the "good" parts which have to be ordered individually...
It will be interesting to see what you get!

 

My 71 had the original bushings still in place...the ones under the trunk are definitely smaller but the standard sized ones will fit.

 

Todd if you offer a kit with ALL the correct bolts AND lower bushings with molded in washers that include the separate ones for under the door I am the first to buy it...

I was going to buy CARS bushings but need correct bolts and ordering from separate places is a shipping cost pain for me. I do have a pair of CARS bushings (radiator support repair) and they look very very close to the stock ones

Ground Up 396 has a Convertible bushing kit that has molded in washers plus more correct looking bolts...might be an option to check out as well.

 

Benny- which SS396 kit? This one??
