Body mounting hardware
So I'm hoping to get around to mounting my cab and core support to my chassis in the coming weeks. I'm digging through my parts stash of new and used stuff. I'm planning to install these bushings, https://static.atechmotorsports.com/.../ens-17016.pdf I can source new bolts locally and have the specs on them, but I can't seem to locate the factory washers it speaks of in the directions. Are they just a thick washer or do I need the specific factory style ones and are they available anywhere?

The body mount washers are close to the same diameter as the bushings they fit against and are approx. 1/8" thick. The core support washers are thinner but still thicker than most hardware store washers. Try ACE Hardware, Fastenall, (if you have one in your area), or as last resort a farm store. (check in the farm equipment area of the store for the bigger washers) .

Re: Body mounting hardware
Are you sure you want urethane bushings?
Different is not always better. |

Re: Body mounting hardware
Front cab or radiator support location? It's a square washer with a square hole because the radiator support body mount uses a carriage bolt. It restrains it from turning while the nut is tightened. You could access a hex head bolt with some long extensions, then you wouldn't need a square washer with a square hole. I don't recall there being a square hole washer at either cab mount location.

Re: Body mounting hardware
The instructions indicate front cab, but makes a lot of sense for the radiator support though.

Re: Body mounting hardware
Keep the rubber just in case you get tired of the tighter connection to small road vibration. Just be true to yourself as to the amount of benefit and how much you actually use this benefit to the compromise in daily ride, if you intend to continue to drive on street. I get it. You want the best performance possible. Problem is you end up giving up the street use at some point.
True story. Bought a rather rare BMW in 2003 and HPDE tracking shortly after acquiring. By 2006, I replace with similar model in every way except, the rare for the model, (S54 Mcoupe) S54 motor. I stripped and caged the new one. Aluminum bushings and heim joint suspension points with +3 inch track. Finally a Jerico dog box and LS. It just never ends and of course this car will never see a street again. Goood luck with the mods. |

Re: Body mounting hardware
I'm not concerned with NVH and gentle ride characteristics that most seem to be after when recommending rubber over polly.
