Is there any option for replacement of the rubber bushings on the transmission crossmember for our pre-67 big body cars. Mine are awfully cracked..
I thought I read somewhere someone adapted the steering bushing from a honda or something? I can no longer find the thread. If there is no option I suppose I will have to put it back together as is until I can think of something. I might be able to remove the rubber and pour some polyurethane in there.

Do you mean the thrust bushings, transmission x-member to side sill rubbers? On torque tube cars?
I fabbed up bushings using a drill press and a long bolt, to chuck some sort of rubber bushing in it, and ground it to size using a coarse file or something. Drove them into the two-hole metal strap (which I can't recall; this was pushing 20 years ago now). Something like that. No idea if they're available now. But today we have internetses. 'back then' they weren't so helpful for this stuff. |

Yeah that's the ones. The round ones that the big bolts go through not the rubber blocks. The rubber blocks are reproduced.
I'm thinking I'll get a polyurethane kit and just pour new material in the old sleeve. I just need to make sure I have the inner sleeve centered somehow.
