finding rubber mounts... - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Im having to make my own transmission mount for my 302 ax-15/np231 conversion and was just wondering...

Just where the heck to i find rubber donut mounts...i've checked the local place and even used my engine mount as an example and they were no help at all... and my local off-road shop wants my arm for a pair and they are overkill for my rig for the time being...

so i just wanted to see where all you guys find your stuff... (besides the junkyard...)

Heres a pic for fun..

I was gonna use some like that for my drivetrain mounts...the only source I found for them was Advance Adaptors

yeah.. i went thru them with my engine mounts, tranny adapter, and headers...

i paid for chrome and got unplated... ordered a bolt in mount and got the weld in mounts... and they once again are a bit spendy, and i dont want to bye their transmission mount... i just want the rubber mounts by themselves but they wont do that for me even after i dropped damn near 1400$ there... a$$holes.

so you want the same mount for your transmission as your engine mounts? you cant modify the original trans/tcase mount on the skid plate to work? or what exactly is your plan?

i did customize my original mount and its making it difficult to line everything up...

bad pic but heres one that i have on my comp at the moment... i will get a better one today.

have you tried someone like prothane?

93jeepyj · 02-15-2007, 08:51 AM

no i hadnt thought of them... but i gave them a call and they didnt seem to have what i need... they have it in a kit but i obviously dont need to buy the whole kit...

Would the torque arm bushings fit your need? You can get them in rubber or poly.

i found mounts at a local store that i had never heard of and i made my mount today and guess what... everything lined up so now im ready to weld the mounts in.. but i ran out of gas so i have to exchange my tank first.
