Hey Jonathan,

These are what I used....now keep in mind this is U.S. priced and for a 67 Impala, but your local auto parts store or performance store should be able to get them for not much more....I was very happy with mine and I know you are on a tight budget, I believe they are worth every penny!!!

Could you use body mounts as hockey pucks?

I would advise against pucks. They seem much harder than a mount. I would think road noise levels would be higher.

Shop around. Kits are plentiful and there are a couple of styles. One difference between kits is the style of the sleeves ( in the above pic the sleeves are separate from the top washer while in other kits the top washer and sleeve is all one piece ) What style did you take out?
A complete kit should be in the $100 range.
Also some kits come with body bolts included, some don't.

DO NOT use hockey pucks. from my own experience, they literally disinigrate after being contaminated by oil and grease. they do not have the flexibility as a body mount, and will not compress." they will crack". on the other hand, i,ve heard alot of people have been using them for hockey, with little or no complaints.

Sounds like a job for a sponge puck? (Man those orange Cooper practice balls used to hurt like hell. I digress...)

I do like the 67 body mount kit.It doesnt say who the supplier is.Looks like the other side of the boarder.I need a set soon and the rad support included.My CS car was oiled,that saved the car but ruined the mounts.
