Body mounts
 
I'm replacing them on my 87 4WD Suburban, with Energy suspension poly mounts.

Problem 1--Bolts and most washers were not included in this kit, is there any place besides the dealer to get them? Or is there a reasonably priced mount kit that has all the hardware I'll need?

I have no problems with returning the Energy mount kit, since it looks like I'll be replacing most of the hardware anyhow.

Problem 2--I've got a few bolts that are just spinning but not loosening. I'm guessing that there's a nut of some sort that's inside the channels? I'm also guessing that I'll need to hole saw the floor panel to get to them? Anyone else ever run into this?

Thanks in advance.

Its common for the bolt threads to seize to the big square nut and force the metal tabs to bend out and spin the nut in the channel. You can cut the floor with a zip disk, heat the nut up, jam a ply bar in between the nut and channel, and try again.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
