Thread: The Roofus Special

One down. ....three more to go.







Passenger side "kit"


My daughter driving Roofus.

My motor mounts showed up. I ordered 56 chevy V8 rubber biscuits from Rock Auto. The big ones were $.58 each and the small ones were $.54 each (I ordered 20 of each!....less than $33 to my door for all). I plan on using these everywhere I need a rubber mount.

That's alot of rubber biscuits! Keep posting, can't wait to see this one take shape. Cars from scratch must take 10 times as much thought and research as working with a existing donor. Sort of like the difference from hotrodding a vehicle, to restoring a stock one. I have restored two stockers, which is pretty straight foward. My truck has parts from a ton of different vehicles, years, etc.. making it a big challenge! Anyway keep posting this is a fun thread to follow and Merry Christmas!

I plan on using them as body mounts on the Dodge pick-up too. I ordered enough of them that it brought the shipping charges per part down to a reasonable level. I am more than happy with the find.

Somebody on another forum asked for dimensions of the mounts. I thought I'd post up here too.

small one p/n 2122 diameter: 1 1/2" height: 7/8"

big one p/n 2123 diameter: 2" height: 7/8"
