Couple body mount q's on a '52 Cranbrook.


Recommended Posts

Well I've been doing alot of work on my '52 and found the front 2 body mounts at the firewall are pretty much gone. I've found them available at Andy Bernbaum's for $7.50 each and use the same part number from '37 and up. But I've search and found others got them through Steele Rubber, $12.50 each, but they don't list anything for '52 model year and do for '50 and back. Are they the same or does Andy use a generic part number for a body mount and send what you need by model year?

Anbody have any experiences with either companies, good or bad?

Also, the rest of the mounts still look good, can I get away with just the fronts? Or is it, as I'm guessing, if you go that far may as well replace them all.

Thanks for any input.

bit confused..the front mounts at the firewall are solid metal to metal with a taper insert and conical washer below...this is your most forward mount and the basic alignment to the body..the second set in is about even with the most forward door opening and these are very prone to rust damage...are these the ones you are referring to? Mitchell was selling these mounts for a fair price long back..

Tim thanks for the input and sorry it took so long for me to get back. Been helping my wives family and at the hospital alot this last week. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she'll be just fine since it was caught so early. So no worries there.

Anyhow, I did not know that about the front mounts. When I was reading my shop manual it didn't really mention much about the body mounts. So that would explain why the rest still look pretty good and those were flat. I'll look into some from Mitchell, I may still replace them since I'm tearing down, checking and rebuiling pretty much everything else on the car anyhow.
