Body Mount and Bolt Kit for the 65 wagonian


Any recommendations of where/what to purchase in kit form to renew body mounts including bolts?

Replacement of the "B" cross brace on the wagon will entail lifting the body up 6 inches to access brace

where attached to rocker inboard side.  It wraps around the frame.  The original stock rubbers are flat and 

cracked so good time to do.

I can't say specifically for your car but I've used Energy Suspension body bushings on several of my cars over the years. Bolts?? I'm not a purist so I obtain grade 8 from the local bolt supply place. Grade 5 is more than adequate I just like the goldish sheen of the grade fasteners.

I see Rock Auto has the body mounts, they just don't list the bolts with them. As Eric mentioned though, you could just buy the bolts from a hardware store.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this is for coupe. You Beaumont guys will know better but I'm guessing it's like the same as wagon except wagon may have 1 or 2 extra mounts?

RPM auto parts out of Saskatoon has the complete kit for a convertible and wagons. And if youre lifting the body up you may want to upgrade your fuel line to 3/8 if its not already that size.

Yes, most were, but if you upgrade to a more performance engine it handle the draw better.
