Re: Body Mounts

The basic floor pan stamping served every car in the lineup. It was extended 5" by the filler strip to make the 127" WB cars. On a convertible or a hardtop those indentations would have bolts down to the frame through the normal rubber pads on the hardtop, and through steel shims on the Conv.

Oddly enough in 54 and up, the cheapest clippers got fewer outriggers then the more expensive clippers did. I can't notice the difference in driving. If I recall, all Torsion Level cars got a full compliment of body mounts.

The housing was already wallowed out. I had a machinist buddy turn down the shaft ever so slightly and make a bronze bushing to suit.

I think I put 40K plus miles on that car before I sold it. 0 problems.

Simply remove the big heavy washer under the bolt head and then screw the original bolt back in. The puller can push against the bolt, and the bolt head will neatly pass through the hole in the pulley when the washer is not there. If you have PS, you will have to pry that pulley off. They usually come easily.

You'll be wanting a condensor to go with you points.

I see your car has replacement rocker panels. Whilst welding, I suggest you weld them on. That will add a lot of rigidity to the car.

Oh, and that should be solid metal under those rear mounts. A large fender washer will suffice.

If it is a 48, then it should have the multi-piece (10 altogether!) front bumper. The later cars had a one piece bar and two guards which will bolt right on to your car. I have a fresh rechromed one piece bar if you would like.

In the 22nd series, the Super Eight is considered a senior car, but it shares all of its grille pieces with the Eight and Eight Deluxe.

It will fit better if you push it much further forward; that will fill in the gaps next to the A pillars and get the rear of the carpet up onto the hump narrowing the taper.

That is mostly spent friction material from the clutch facings. It will settle anywhere the fluid flow does not keep it in suspension.

That is a lovely sentiment Don, but in reality we are dealing with Chinese crap reproductions, so plan on going in again sometime in the future when the float sinks.
