I've tried this post in the Open-Discussion but didn't get many responses. I'll try here again.

I installed PTFB solid body bushings/mounts. I attached pictures to this thread. I did the install with the 0.5" body drop. So I reversed the bigger and smaller part of the bushing like the instructions explained. Can someone verify the attached pictures of the front one (position 1) and tell me if it's installed properly?

First picture shows the inside under the hood beside my radiator.

Second picture shows the inside of the frame seen from under the front of the car.

from what I can discern from the pictures it looks right. the rear subframe bushing should be the tallest with progressively shorter bushings as you move forward. my 67 Firebird looks similar at these points, however i kept the bushing height constant all the way through.

Thank you Tom. It's greatly appreciated. I'm looking to get more info before I install the driver side. I saw a picture where the person had only a washer over the body, the small bushing in between body and frame. And finally the large bushing in the frame (inside). This did not make sense to me.

Granted I don't endorse PTFB stuff...You look to have the orientation correct; however your bolt is too short. You don't have a single thread protruding past the nut. Is the extra washer on top suppose to be there?

If i follow the instructions, it seems like it.

Hey Badazz81z28, I looked at instructions again and it seems like I did do it the right way.
