Hi there,
I'm a mechanic in Ontario Canada. I work on a lot of oddball and vintage cars in my area, including my one client with a beautiful '38 P6 Deluxe. It's not minty but it's a solid driver. I've done quite a bit of work to it, including a rear main seal in 2021 that involved a significant tear down!
At the last service I noticed the bushings where the front axle beam secures to the chassis are completely gone on one side and coming apart on the other. They are the bushings located adjacent to the rearward shackle for the front springs, not the spring shackle bushings themselves.
Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture of them as I assumed they would be easy to find in the factory service manual the owner has, but I've scoured the manual and any parts diagrams/lookups I can find online and I can't find any reference to them.
Does anyone know where/if these bushings are available for purchase, or should I be looking to get something fabricated for it?

Thanks!
