Default "Injunuity" '64 GTO Roll Cage Install & Body Mount Bushing Question

Replacing the old cage installed by an amateur with a new one installed by this amateur! Boxing the frame and getting it ready for NMCA Nostalgia Super Stock!

Who knows the difference between convertible and hardtop '64 GTO Body Mount Bushings? The only Polyurethane bushings I can find are for convertibles. Talk to me...

Heck I'd just get solid ones anyway. Like Global West's interlocking.

Skip, Global West doesn't list them for the '64.

It seems like as long as they don't slop around too much in the holes they would be fine. Mine were original add hammered so I can't tell if they were originally 1/2, 3/4 thick or what.

I bought these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-776106 for my 64 Tempest.
I asked B-man about a kit he bought from PY- he thought they were an Energy suspension kit from a 64/65 Elky. I asked Ccass, and he thought that may be correct, so I started looking...
I went through E/S's install guides and part numbers for the 64-67 A body cars- this kit has just about every one of them... I'm thinking the square rad mount might be the difference maker. I haven't installed them yet, but the kit is all E/S part numbers, so I'll let you decide who makes them for Summit.
