Crossmember transmission support bushings

BigBrother-84
Hi Gentlemen,

Made some search to find these parts.  Not easy.

Gary, I saw you had (couple of years ago) similar discussion on "another" forum.  

If somebody has some more recent infos (where to find these parts, or using other bushing to make some), it will be welcome!

If you have some dimensions on them, there is a fellow on the West coast who manufactures Poly Urethane bushings primarily for Chrysler FWD stuff. https://polybushings.com/ Johnny Spiva is the owner and tell him I referred you. He may have something that will work.

Those things are really hard to find.  Hopefully Bill's contact can help you.

I purchased a set of those about 8 years ago from a place in PA for $18 each, as listed on their website. Upon checking their website sometime later, they were listed at $118 each. I guess someone caught a ration of grief for that computer input error on my sale.

Hi!
We had a very BIG thunderstorm and heavy winds here on Saturday pm.  Just have electricity back this morning, bit of internet (soooo ssssllloooooow) still no phone.
Lost some trees, but no major damage here, we were lucky.
They had 8 death in Ontario, one life lost here in Quebec (Outaouais region, next to here Laurentian region).
I’ll come back to the forum in few days, time to get back on our legs.
So, my silence isn’t lack of interest!

Curt,
Of course I am interested.  Slightly used parts are much better then no parts at all.
I will do some clutch work on BigBrother, so working around the transmission would be a good time to replace these bushings.
I am located in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada.  Be comfortable to tell me if you prefer not shipping across the border, I will understand.  If not an issue for you, you can email me directly to discuss the price and other conditions.
Thanks!

I will give these to you, just tell me how to ship them.
I assume shipping across the border isn't cheap!
Do you want just the two rubber parts, or would you like the top plate too?
No use to me, yours if you want, just get the shipping.
I'm in Battle Creek Michigan 49017

Hi Curt,

Thanks so much for your proposal!

I tried to send you my complete coordinates, but the forum email does not seem to work.

So, this is my email address.  Please send me an email using it, and we'll be able to exchange required informations that way.

Thanks again!

I'm in a bit of bind trying to find these bushings myself. Does anyone know if there is a conversion that is done to get around needing to find these? I'd prefer to have the bushings but with how hard they are to find I think I might prefer to go a route that will be easier to maintain in the future. Thanks!

Slim - Welcome to the forum!  

You probably missed the email you were sent asking you to make your first post an introduction in the New Members Start Here folder.  The reason we ask that is two fold.  First, we are a community and we want to get to know each other.  But second, we have the guidelines posted in that folder and we hold everyone to them so want to ensure you have a chance to read them.

So, can you assure me that you have read them?

Hi Slim, welcome in the family (yep, this community acts such as!).
I had the chance that Curt had good condition ones to offer.  Otherwise, there is one new on eBay (just one and not cheap).
E1TZ-6E039-A.

https://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/324684521374

I suppose someone with big budget and patience could find a second new OEM one.
