Need to replace my rear motor mount rubbers . Who sells the best ones.
I hear some are too thick. Thanks in advance!

Brattons sells pads that measure almost the same as originals. I remember measuring them and they were just slightly thicker, not enough to worry about. I forget the exact number. Very nicely made product.

The bolt kit Bratton's sells works, but the nuts are not correct- if that matters to you. Some of the earlier kits the bolts were too long from the cotter hole to the base of the head and the nuts were much thinner.

Keven is right, they are a great fit. My 7 year old grandson had his side done before I finished my side. He loves putting the cotter pins in. He also helped when it came time for the hood latches, just put him on the creeper and rolled him under the car! A great time saver, didn't have to jack the car up at all. He came out with a big smile on his face. Sometimes, little kids are handy to have around.......

I used the rubber parts from Brattons and borrowed a frame spreader from a friend to get the engine in.
