Anyone know where you can by the OEM rubber style cushions for the motor mounts? Looking for only the cushions- not the whole lower half of the mount. Having a heck of a time finding them & I don't want the urethane type. I hear they can cause engine vibration- enough that some people have posted they feel it in the steering wheel.

Why just change the rubber part. Rockauto has the DEA Part # A2292HD heavy duty mounts for your car for only $6.13 EACH. The standard ones are ANCHOR Part # 2292 and only $2.83 each.

I want to keep my 1977 Made in the US of A OE GM mounts.

I know it's crazy but I'm gonna rebuild my brake calipers too and a bunch of other 'original to the car' stuff.

Can you buy new ones & switch out the rubber parts?

They're cheap enough at rock auto alright, but it's kind of wasteful doing that. I'll keep hunting ... I know they're out there somewhere.

Thanks for the reply's Joe & Hawk

The brake calipers are a breeze. I hit them with glass beads and then painted them with caliper paint. Then installed a rebuild kit. Real simple. Left one is blasted and the right one is painted. Rebuild kits just below them. Speed bleeders to the right of that.

Nice job on those. Happy with Raysbestos?

I've always used raybestos stuff but havent tried their caliper rebuild kits. No problems with them.
