I bought some new ones..These came out from under a 78 vette. The other one is long gone. Might want to look at yours too....

Interesting...maybe that's where my ride height problem comes from. I didn't really think they could become that damaged. Sell those on eBay.

But the rubber looks good, doesn't it? :)

Always change them during a frame off.

63Banshee,
Yea I know,I was being sarcastic in the title. I also had to change out the body supports for they rusted out and replace two of the frame mounts that these sit on due to the holes rusting and alowing the mounts to move.

Hey, I don't remember selling you my mounts! ;) Those look like mine!

Lohkay

Hehe yeah mine looked the same too. Ya can be sure that when I put it back toghether, it'll be poly bushings with stainless bolts. I HATE RUST!

Chris@VetteFinders

I used rubber again because of the squeaks. I almost regret putting poly bushings in my a arms. Every speed bump...SQUEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAKKK SQUEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAKKKK

My vote is for new body mounts. If I am in that deep I always like to replace the part and forego any problems down the the road. That is of course if funds allow. I went with Vette Brakes Poly Body Bushings. I beleive they are supposed to be made with the new material that is self lubricating and does not squeek or at least not as bad. I will be finding out more in the next couple of weeks when I test drive my baby after complete restoration. Best wishes, and let us know what you decide and how it works out for you.

Lohkay,

Checked out your pics. Man I wish I could get that much done in a weekend. You need to go to work for dream car garage. Complete cr rebuild in 30 minutes hahahaha. Where are you now with the project?

Chris@VetteFinders

That is what I used also.... SQUEAK SQUEAK!!!

ScubaJKD

Darn now you tell me. Glad I have the sidepipes so I wont be able to hear the squeak. Come to think of it I wont be able to hear anything so just Wave hahahahaha.

With the Vette brakes kit, did you get enough bushings for all eight mounts?

I bought the PST kit and only got enough biscuits for 6. They're checking into it with their supplier now... Also, the PST kit had all the bushings the same even though #2 and #3 are different from #1 and #4.

Did your kit have a different mount for 2&3 versus 1&4?

Thanks in advance!

ScubaJKD

The VB body kit came with all necessary bushings.

JYD69_427

Thank yee kindly.

Just out of curiousity,

>Did your kit have a different mount for 2&3 versus 1&4?

Thanks again!

i think those are salvageable ;)

just clean up em and stuff em back in there.. :bs

heh, jk.. I wouldn't use poly bushings, though.. they are so hard that they have a tendency to squeak..

ScubaJKD

I am sorry it has been six months since we installed them and I can't remember if the were different sizes or not. I would call Vette Brakes I am sure they can help you out. Take care

At the bottom of your signature you have pictures from weekend 1, 2, and 5. Looking at the progress you made assumming these were projects completed in a weekend I was just very very impressed and giving you some Kudos on all the work you have done. I was relating it to the projects you see on dream car garage tv show where they put an entire car together in a 30 minute show. Keep up the great work and post more pics when you can.
