the orange thing is quite old, it was my dad's a long time ago.
here is a picture of the body mounts after I made the holes bigger in the frame. you can see it sits flush now compared to before. little bit of dremeling and it was good to go. I will need to get more washers to level things though. might have to order another kit to get them...or maybe a hardware store....idk. depends on if I need more bushings or not which route I take. plus I like that they are grade 8 zinc coated. and yes the bolt hole is the correct size.
gonna need new bolts too, which I know lowes has.
but it seems this will work and its WAY cheaper then new rubber from steele. I hope this is good for others in the future as well, unless you don't like modifying the car a bit.
