Hubby wants me to start looking for body mounts for Fanny. Suggestions where I should start looking? Is this something that can be found at Napa or Canadian Tire?
Do you mean the rubber bushings that go between the body and the frame? Beaumont - is that like a Chevelle? You can try ebay and other parts sites like this: https://www.yearone.com/Catalog/1964.72.chevelle.monte.carlo.el.camino/body/body-mounts-_-bushings http://www.ebay.com/bhp/chevelle-body-bushings and even rockauto.com
fannie, apparently GM still sells them via dealers. This is a Canadian's page. With our buck in the toilet, this might keep some project dollars closer to home: http://members.shaw.ca/timcr/mounts.html Here's Canadian vendor near London Ontario - US repros, but no currency exchange: http://www.nosreproductions.com/category/BMK/Body-Mount-Kits
fannie, Being a fellow Canuck, I bet you will be tempted to use hockey pucks for body mount bushings. There are MANY off-roaders who have done it, and a lot of hotrodders have used pucks for various body and core support bushings for many years. I wouldn't do it, but I thought you might want to know that it HAS been done. Just make sure you don't over-tighten the mounting bolts, or the bushings will look like this:
I have stopped along the highway and picked up a piece of semi truck tire rubber for transmission and body mounts. I still think day old Dunkin Donuts are better because they are slightly flexable. Don't used the filled ones!
