wiggins Apr 23rd, 01, 2:28 AM I'll be putting my body back Friday and I have a question on body bushings, Does the metal washer go on the body side or does it face the ground? The bushings I've got are stock replacement from OPG with the bolt and washers, but it has a flat round metal piece with them. In short should any of the metal washers be touching the body? Thanks in advance for your help. rusty66 Apr 23rd, 01, 7:59 AM Wiggens. There should be 2 metal pieces http://www.si.hhs.nl/~rob/images/scanned/197_pnt_bdy_mnt_bsh.jpg The shaped one (in front of the picture) goes on top (against the body). The flat washer goes on the bottom (facing the ground). No metal will touch the chassis. Hope this helps.

I ordered a bushing kit from summit racing and a bolt/washer kit from another supplier and it didnt include the washers with the sleeves on them. I checked with GM and they have discontinued 2 of the 6 needed mounts. Where can I find what I need for the body mounts and have all the needed parts? wiggins Apr 26th, 01, 6:58 PM chevelless502, I ordered mine from OPG has a complete kit(bolt,washer,and bushing) and they are stock replacements.Rusty 66, I got the body back on wednesday night before I looked at your reply, but luckly I put them on right. Thanks for your help. ------------------ Kevin (Slappy) Wiggins 1966 Malibu still under constuction Redrum Apr 26th, 01, 7:06 PM I beleive OPG was the company that sold me individually the correct size ones I needed. If you get real stuck email me and I will go look at my old post to find out for sure if it was OPG or to see if I have the ones you need laying around the barn. I have a few of them. ------------------ Redrum (or Mike) 68 Corvette - 383 CI 427 HP 69 SS Chevelle being updated to Pro-Touring 97 Z-28 rusty66 Apr 27th, 01, 1:07 AM Sorry I am a bit late.
