WHITE KNIGHT 71 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Where do I find the rubber envelope type bushings that attach the crossmember to the frame? I need some new one's to go on my frame-off 71. Also what is the proper term for these parts? Please help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I know that you mentioned that you are doing a "frame-off" of your 71, but a less expensive alternative would be to use a crossmember from a Chevelle. They do not use the "end rubbers and bracket", but rather simply bolt to the frame holes which are already there. Even the trans mount is the same. I switched a few of my montes over to the Chevelle type because the monte type also seem to hold water and eventually the crossmember ends, rubbers and brackets rust away. Just a thought.

WHITE KNIGHT 71 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thanks Mike, that makes a lot of sense. I seen the holes on the end that were covered by the rubber clamps so I should be able to use the same crossmember. I was just trying to put it back original since it's going to be a garage queen. I also thought that those rubber ends must make a great sound insulator for the transmission and the frame. I didn't even consider that it is probably a good moisture retainer. I'm going to definitly reconsider, especially since it is hard to find replacement bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte7071 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I searched this topic and found this info (They are the same as the 69-72 Grand Prix. You can get them from Ames Performance. Go to their website to look them up.)I forgot to see who wrote this but I looked them up pg. 151. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
