Inner front fender body bushing/mount size?
I ordered a complete kit of poly body bushings/mounts from PST only to find out that they don't include the inner front fender and they don't make/sell separately.
Does anyone know the size (diameter/height) and/or if they are just the standard bushing/mount size? Bonus points if you can provide a vendor who sells them in poly vs. rubber.

Vertigo, are you referring to the core support bushings? There are no front fender rubber bushings.
Can take measurements of perfect condition original & NOS core support bushings. Have no idea of what's out there in polyurethane, what I've had here in the past, we yanked out.

The reason for my question was based on this post where it was stated that the PST body bushing kit (POLY34114) ordered by a fellow member for his 69 GTO convertible did not come with inner front fender bushings.
Having just ordered the POLY34115 for my 70 GTO hardtop, I called PST to confirm if my kit was the same...it is. My (perhaps) naive thought was that inner front fender bushings would be needed regardless of body style (vert vs. hardtop). In doing a little research on OPGI's site, I came across this supplemental bushing kit supposedly for 'big block' A- bodies and convertibles (not sure how they fall into the same category) and wondered if it may be it. OPGI lists them as for 68-72 GTO/Lemans/Tempest. FWIW...the car is apart at the restoration shop, so I was trying to be proactive and order any body bushings/mounts needed that might be missing from the kit I ordered. Trying to keep the project moving along and avoid any unnecessary delays due to my ignorance. So I guess the real question is...am I actually missing anything? I was under the impression that the PST kit would have everything needed.

They should not be the same kit.
https://www.energysuspensionparts.co..._chevelle_1970 You should be able to compare the two kits here 3.4114 and 3.4115

Didn't mean to imply the two kits are the identical, just that both kits do not come with inner front fender bushings. Is the convertible kit supposed to and not the hardtop?

3.4115 even though it's less money should contain more bushings.

On a convertible set, position #1 & #4 use bolt on cushions, not dummy cushions. Have a feeling what you're calling an "inner fender bushing" (no auch thing) is the position 1 cushion.
Origiinal, as well as correct rubber sets of "bushings" use three different designs of bolt on cushions. The cheap rubber sets & the squeekin poly sets use much more generic size bushings.
