Thanks for the info

I was just after basically factory replacements that look stock as I had both OEM rubber and aftermarket poly mounts. I am building a 12 bolt for 76TA and an early 70's Nova which use the same spring perches.
Though it would save torching a set off a 10 bolt housing.
Unfortunately being over here in NZ, by the time we pay international shipping, exchange rate, duty and tax anything here ends up 3-4 times the USD cost in NZD $$.
These were listed as "Designed as replacement so you don't have to hunt the boneyards when doing conversions".........Not really so

I get improving the situation and on heavy street / strip cars have gone with positive retention without pads/ isolators, solid front bushings etc etc, but in my older age thought I would appreciate some ride comfort LOL.

I guess I could butcher these up a bit, make an isolator and have the spring wedged in-between the new mounts without a lateral isolator....

Was just hoping it would be a bit more of a direct replacement to save me the hassle.
