Body Mount "Cups"

[weoner]

but what do you do if the cups are no good. I need a bunch replaced but dont have the ability to make new ones. The bushings are still decent enough to re-use, but the cups are no good...help?

they are easy enough to make.. go to your local steel shop and buy a piece of pipe the size of the rubber mount... I believe 60's use two sizes..

Here is what I did for mine...

Mine are made out of fork lift tires. The old cups were rusted away, though, and I just welded thick washers back, but the rubbers don't entirely stay in place. So for the people who want to go that way: don't!

I did use some weld-on pipecaps on one once, drilled the centerhole on a lathe and welded the sides.
These caps ar 3mm thick and i used 2.25"gas (64mm inner diameter) if i remember right.
