Core support bushings

[watchdog]

Hello all....Im in the middle of complete resto on my 84 SS Monte. I basically gutted everything...removed the front end, gutted the interior, stripped the car down to the bare metal....Basically did everything short of a frame off.

Anyways, I bought core support bushings about 2 years ago, and just last night installed them and snugged down the core support. But I cant for the life of me remember how they were installed, and if I have them the right way. Heres a couple pics. Also, what would you use for shims? I dont remember any shims on mine, but I sat the fender on the car and the core support does need to come up. Thanks for all the help.

From the pic it seems right but I have never seen the metal cup piece.Do you have the larger busing on the bottom going into the smaller bushing on top? You can use fender washers as shims. Use the shims on the frame side then the bushing.

I haven't seen them either except my old ones were exactly the same. I still have them on my bench. Im almost positive (of course Im drawing a blank) that theres a rubber bushing around the bolt shaft thats part of the cup that comes up thru the support. I did use fender washers to mock it up and raise the CS some, and it seemed to work fine. Im just trying to make sure theyre in the right way. I cant see how they could go any other way. Thanks again!

Here a pic of one I found on the internet that looks identical.
