Cab Mount Hardware

[catfishcuz]

Working on 49b1b and was wondering if the cab mount hardware is available I know the rubber is what I'm really looking for is the sleeve with the washer that goes between the rubbers.

I reused my old ones after having them replated.  I have NOT seen a vendor that sells those, but shodl be easy enough to make with some tubing and washers.

That's what I was thinking would anyone know the size of the bolt and tube length and dia.

[ggdad1951]

I think three are either 1/2" or 9/16" and the cab front is 5/8"?  I'd have to creeper under FEF and measure, which I can do if you need me to.

[catfishcuz]

Don't bother someone probably has one out that they can measure.

You can make a mounting bolt harware from a 3/8 pipe. Cut the pipe 2 1/4 inchs tall. A 1/2 inch bolt should slide threw the pipe. weld that to a washer that is 1/8 inch thick by 2 1/4 in ch diameter. This is what the mounting harware on the back mounts in my b-3-c are..

Thanks Lugnut what's the length of the 1/2 inch bolt

[lugnut123]

4 inch bolt on mine.I think three are like this but the one in the driver front is just a hard rubber. Hockey puck that's bolted solid.  My rear mounts came off easy but the fronts I had to torch so I don't have them off yet. lugster

I was needing to fab some rear moter mount hardware.You can use a 3/8 pipe 2 inchs long and weld it to a 2 1/2 inch washer. . The 3/8 pipe will fit into the rubber mount s easy.  On the moter mounts they use a 3/8 bolt instead of a 1/2 inch. I went to my local specalty nut n bolt place and they had some 3 inch washer that were 1/4 inch thick. Alittle bit thick but I will make them work. lugs nutz

Good Luck,
