mra32 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 so the front and the rear holes are the same shape, but a different size? I guess when you get the measurements, then I can figure it all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoore4294 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I might have said wrong. IDK. I'll get a better look at it tomorrow and get back to you. Possibly with pics too. Then of course measurements are promised by the weekend if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviLette Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've got a brand new set in my posession, but alas nothing to measure them with... ANd i wouldn't trust my measurements to custom fab something off of.. LOL. Looking forward to hearing more progress on this topic though.

jmoore4294 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 SHITTY CELLPHONE PIC TIME!!!! lol Sorry guys, digital camera is on the fritz, so you'll have to deal with crappy cell pics. Anyway, all the holes are identical. They all have straight sides, and the rest are curved. The first two are the front holes. I took both, cause the first one has some weird shit going on with it. Don't know if it's supposed to be like that, but it is. The third pic is of the rear hole, and they are both the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 jesus christ that subframe looks new.. besides that weird bend going on in that first pic I don't know what the hell is up with that the hole sizes are the same IIRC but the mounts themselves are still different between front and back.

BXX Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 That subframe is bent man... I have never seen one like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoore4294 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 It's odd, cause the car had absolutely no damage to it. I wonder how it could've bent like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoore4294 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, so I got some shitty drawing done up in paint, with the measurements from my shiney new dial caliper. If you need something else that I didn't get, let me know. It's 47 mm across the two parallel sides, and 50.5 mm across from the highest point to the highest point.

BXX Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 sweet man, but your drawing is horribly outta scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpchris Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah I totally lost those part numbers.. Umm, would it be possible to make a thick fiberglass mold of the stock one and compress a little polyurethane in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoore4294 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 sweet man, but your drawing is horribly outta scale I know. That's why I made sure everyone knew it was a shitty ms paint drawing just so no one got confused as to where each number was referring to. I think Mra32 is gonna make up a drawing though. Atleast I hope he is, cause I have no idea how. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoore4294 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, so i didn't even realize, that there is a bigger opening on the underside of the front holes which measures 77 mm across the parallel sides, and 83 mm from the highest point to the highest point of the two circle sides. (Refer to earlier crappy drawing) lol. Don't really know why it's there, it came with the bushings originally, but they are long gone, otherwise I'd just be sending some of them off to be measured....professionally!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 3.4150 I think will work. can post up dimensions and drawings later Its from a newer silverado. Cost of the set is $175 but I dont know how many are included with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Quick drawing of the bushings in that set. I looked at my dad's truck and they seem to match up pretty well, but i'm not allowed to take his truck apart, so I can't see if they'll fit. http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=64130.0 Refer to that ^^ for pictures of the subframe/bushings. Dimensions on those bushings are as follows: P/N 4200 O.D. 3.52 O.D. OF STEP 2.05 Hole Size .81 x 1.3 Primary THICKNESS 1.9 OVERALL THICKNESS 2.51 P/N 4201 O.D. 2.9 O.D. OF STEP 2 x 1.85 oval/rectangle Hole Size .8 x 1.29 Primary THICKNESS .58 OVERALL THICKNESS 1.08 Edited July 24, 2010 by mra32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 There are 8 body mounts in the set. If 2 people are adventurous then they could go in on it and see if it works. The only issue might be that the body side is too thick, but I have a band saw...or i can mill it if i get fancy. The extra distance might help those with lowered cars, from a suspension standpoint. I havent really thought about if half an inch or so will kill anything else on the car. If nobody is too keen on figuring out if this works, my friend gave me some polyurethane subframe bushings off another car that I could modify and use in conjunction with sporting goods to make a real stiff subframe mount.

gpchris Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Ok guys The only issue with the ones i posted earlier are that the front side doesnt NEED to be slotted. They will work but subframe alignment will be tough without premarking it. Another pic of them I found these that are NOT slotted, Will they work? idk. I know somebody wants to try!
