Anyone?

It seems on firebirds people are using the regualar body bushing and adding shims to close the gap.

I take that is not actually right, and i bet aftermarket does not actually have the idea that the core mount bushing from factory is actually tall and oval (like mine in the pictures).

So i have sourced up random pushings the right height for my application. I dont like washer piles...

They guys in the Grand Prix tech section probably have a solution.

The a-body core support bushings are pretty different than what you posted. Not nearly as tall and they are cylindrical rather than ovoid.

The Ames catalogue lists the core support bushings for a '77 GP as P/N: PS445, but indicates "inquire" for the price, which usually means not available...

Im quite sure this is the orginal bushing. All rust marks and matching oval holes in the core support tell the story.
