update-I have a rolling chassis
I pulled a shock mount off the parts cars, this one had been previously repaired so I used it for now. May keep looking for something in better condition The Suspension work is complete. both the front and rear bushings. I had a little trouble getting the watts linkage attached, but used a cargo strap to hold the body down while jacking up the axle. I also found a shop that would smooth out the rear brake drums so I could at least have an emergency brake for now when I roll the chassis out to clean the underside of it. I'm still hunting for rear brake drums that can be serviceable. Decided to work on my Ranco thermal valve. I followed Bigkev's "how to" for that repair(thanks) cleaned and media blasted it. when assembling it I couldn't get it to seat tight. so I took a piece of hardwood, drilled a 15/16" hole 3 " deep, cut out the top portion, place a hardened washer on top, this had a portion of it cut out to fit around the copper pipe. then I place a 3/4" socket on top and with a clamp pulled it snug before bending the tabs down. seems to work, need a different way to test it other than putting it in the car...Suggestions? I ordered replacement panels for the floors and rockers from C2C fabrication. plan the fix the floor before putting in my rebuilt brake booster.

Check the center bushing . Group 13.11678
It wasn’t included in the kit I bought, from Dwight. and I required it. I bought mine from Max Merritt https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/partslist/images/Plates/1955-1956/32B.jpg And your right, Nice guy very helpful.

Kevinpackard-yes, will try to fix it with a plate or washer me thinks. May go out and check the parts car to see if that one is in any better shape
HH56-thanks for the link to those posts. I had not seen those ones, too bad about the photos Owen_Dyneto-thanks very much for the size of bolts

working on the rear suspension this week, I have replaced the rear bushings and want to tackle the Watts linkage
my question is.... what size bolts have you fellows use when you drilled and tapped the holes for the center bushing? 1/4"- 5/16"? fine threads? your help is appreciated very much!

R H- I doubled checked my order from Kanter, it is the correct part number. As the car didn’t have either one on it, I have no comparison. Thanks for the observation
BDeB- thanks for confirming that torque requirement, and assembly process. I will carefully give it a go.
