I think the consensus has been to forget about them. They’re mostly an afterthought, like the seatbelt retaining clips.

Copy that.

But to answer your question, I would say that is hard rubber. I've bought medium-hard sheeting from McMaster Carr and it was still much more pliable than what you are holding.

Looking through Mcmastercarr trying to find a substitute for these guys for between the A and C between the frame and body. Would you all say these are ‘medium hard’ rubber?

Anyone fabbed something to replace this?

Drawing a blank, where do those go?

 

[RUSH55]

They go between the front tub mounts, and the second set back below the back seat. On my 77, there were two round pucks screwed into the support ribs on each side.

Keeps floor from flexing. Goes tween floor ( just below back of front seat ) and frame.

Greatest sadness! @SMG won’t be able to do our hinges.

 

[SMG]

Sorry guys, I can however do the hood hinges but not the main doors.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Couldn’t leave good enough alone :/

 

[scrapdaddy]

Sure won't hurt, good job!

It’s fun to bend and melt metal at the very least.

 

[bobm]

[xtiaan2000]

No doubt!

Used the great beta/parts from Jmack, WarDamnEagle, and everyone. Figured I would post the McMaster Carr numbers for future reference.

5448T2 Metric 932 Bronze Flanged Sleeve Bearing, for 8MM Shaft Diameter, 11MM OD, 10MM Length 16 Each

91595A588 Metric Alloy Steel Dowel Pin, M8 Diameter, 70 mm Length, Packs of 5 2 Packs

2754A83 Clog-Resistant Uncoated High-Speed-Steel Jobbers Drill Bit, 11MM, 142MM Oal, 72MM Drill Depth

Got’em all done. Would have been cool to have a pro over my shoulder but they don’t seem to have any slop.

Now to weld in the door strikers.

What welding?

I just couldn’t get that original latch to stay closed. It would always slip, not to all the way Open, but just open enough to rattle. So a while back I did this. I will be using the doors from my rolling pig and will need to do the landing side again. This time I will do it with all the rubber in to get the Perfect fit.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Pigs always gotta make you work!!! I pulled the back door off and had hoped that I would just go right in with no adjusting.
bwahhahahaah! heres to dreaming!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, that took some good effort.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Can anyone give me a reason not to make these holes bigger to allow for more door maneuverability?
