I'm trying to get my car back on the ground and running by tomorrow morning...I decided that now was as good a time as ever to put my new body mounts in, but I've lost the directions from Global West. I remember that the smallest ones go in the front, but can't remember which washers go where, what the best order to do them is, etc. Any help would be majorly appreciated!

TIA guys.

Specifically the center two, the ones mounted on "ears". I can't really think of what the best SAFE way to get these in there is. I'd rather not have the whole subframe plop on my head, given the choice.

Here goes...
Final look at repaired frame mount. Way to go BillyT!

Uninstalled GW frame mount. The large one with the collar drops down into the frame. The smaller one slides over the collar from below. Also seen is the 1/4" shorted bolt I had to get for the LF. No one else said they had this problem but me, it seems (see other thread).

Another. I needed to get a different bolt for the LF body mount - it hit the toe board.

Hey all, I was just checking out my GW solid bushings tonight. I have to test mount the frame tomorrow. It looks like the bolts might be too long.

The R/F is ok, but this is the L/F:

It hits the toe panel. I did not try the back ones yet, but I am a little worried. I know the frame and the lock washer will take up some slack, but not that much (like I said, the end of the bolt is touching the toe panel)

Anyone run into this??

Sweet, thanks for the pics--I got 'em and these absolutely helped to make sure I had them all right.
