Default Making your own bushings/cushsion

I didn't like the repop lower four core radiator mounts being sold (I've go four of them if someone needs some). So I decided to make a copy of the one good original four core lower mount/cushion.

I ordered some 1" thick SBR rubber, the same stuff used for 80% of all automotive rubber and started cutting, grinding, sanding etc.

Ended up with a usable piece.



The home made cushion.




The original OEM cushion.




The repop next to the original. Not sure why but the repop is tapered, too short in total length, and too short in the groove. Can be modified to work .. .but jeez, how many of these parts are they going to sell us 68 guys that "need modification"
