Frame body mount holes

[Rt Jam]

The replacement washers to repair a rusted or oblong hole.

The replacements are 1.5" ID, the original is a bit bigger. Concern or not a concern?

I used these with energy suspension poly mounts and had no issues.

I bought washers at the hardware store that were the right size hole and welded them in

Did they have the correct size. Seems a little bigger than 1.5" or is it not really important to have the correct size?

I bought 14 gauge sheet metal and cut the repair circles with a hole saw on a drill press. With the inside circle I cut out I drilled a 1/2" hole in the center and welded those to reinforce the brackets for the control arms bolts.

I used a energy suspension body mount kit and the ones I bought fit them goid

Used em. thick enough that you have to actually try to blow a hole through em welding and dont warp easily. My rubber repro bushings fit fine.

I bought repair washers from Kirban and my poly body mount bushings fit ok. One thing to be careful of is that G body frames are not painted, they are dipped in black wax. This makes welding a bit tricky and using either flux core MIG or ARC a good idea. They do sell factory style black frame wax in aerosol cans for recoating the repair area.

I got 1.5" washers from my local Fastenal store. Worked well.

I’m sure this has been asked but there is some sort of locking nut welded inside the chassis for the position like 3 and 4 body mounts? I am trying to remove them on my 80 and broke the passengers sides and they fell out thank god but the drivers side are just spinning... anybody know what needs to be repaired. I see there is a body mount kit but it looks like it’s for the trunk only
