Mark,
Very nice work. How many swear words where used?
A couple of bolts loosened and some wire harnesses and fuel lines disconnected and you could of taken the body off. On a scale of 1 to 10 what was difficulty? From your pics your car doesn't look like it needs paint, I guess it is the mystery of pictures.
Again nice work

I've had the poly mounts for my car for over a year now. Sooner or later I'll get around to changing them. Thanks for this thread, I'm sure it will be a big help to me.

Very nice job! Mine are in pretty good condition but I would like to replace the #4s. How do you get a wrench on those top nuts? After using a penetrating oil of course.

#4 & #5, are those the rear mounts? If so, how did you get a nut inside the bracket? I just ran out to the garage and had a look. I can see my crusty body mounts and a nice bracket above them with no way to access the inside of the bracket. I assume that is where the cage nuts are that everyone despises?

I understand why you did away with the cage nut, I'm asking how did you get to the topside of the bolt after it was inserted through everything? Can you see the top of that bracket from inside the car?

Just a quick question to all the smart people following this threat.
At what point do you torque the body mounts?
Is it when the car is on all fours or when it's up on the lift?

Thank you very much for the writeup and pics, Rudolph. You do good work! I'm about to tackle this on my '76.
..took me 3 sawzall blades to get through one of the rear mounts, but I'll count my blessings as I had no cancer on either bracket

Looks like it sure needed them.. The previous owner had all the mounts changed in my 71 but they dont look at all like your setup, they are 3/8 thick aluminum spacers with 1-2 thin shims on top, they are between the frame and body with just a washer on top. are these solid mounts I have seen mentioned in here? how crappy will that ride? how thick did yours end up after tightening? wont only 3/8 sit the body down lower than original and cause issues some where? thanks anybody..
