Looks like you may be in luck on the rubber isolators:

Thank you Montclaire. The fab Gods must have heard our battle cry for these things through this board. LOL.

I'll take a closer look at them. They are a little pricey, but I understand the demand and especially the time and effort that such a complicated item takes to fabricate and distribute.

That`s actually not a bad deal on them. It looks like it comes with the crossmember iso mounts also. NOS would cost much more I`m sure.

We're looking into it. That's Frank Mitchels old company that is selling them I believe.

Since you guys know these parts and related cars much more than I do, are these bushings in the picture correct or at least close to original as it may come?

Two buyers of the product in the last two months have not commented on their fit and or quality. I ask because even though these theoretically are not high pressure load items, the welds seem a little shy as in tack welds. Perhaps the factory produced just as shy a weld on the originals also. LOL.

In either case, if these are indeed the correct types, I will add a small tag weld seam to the corners to make it that much more stronger.

I haven't done this to my wagon (yet) as I have a few good used ones available still.

For the OP, its best to leave it in place as it does lessen some of the harshness fed back up the column.

Way away from my budget... couldn't expect less from fmmopar, as any other Mopar repro around.

That's why I created this:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/149414152185365/

( yeah well, just somekind of rant )




One more to add to the expensive list I can't afford, like:
RCD ( bilstein ) shocks
Tuff stuff 100 amps alt
Bumper fillers ( except front center )
Headlight fillers and grilles ( not satisfied yet with headlight fillers repros yet thought )


Can't recall what else...

With eighteen pieces in the kit, it works out to less than $17 per piece. The bumper fillers are being produced on the same cottage industry scale so they are not cheap, either, but the quality seems to be there. I for one am glad they are being offered.

A little off guide, but are the 73'-74' Charger front fenders compatible with 73' Coronets?

So that means that the 73' Coronet and or perhaps the 74' Coronet fenders are a one to two year thingie only?

I think Coronet is 1972/1973, with 1974 being different. And I think that Satellite sedan is the same 1972-1974. My guess (and this is only a guess) is that there was an issue with the hoop bumper on the Dodge meeting 1974 crash standards.

Coronet and Charger are a diff monsters.

Between Coronets, and thinking they could be similar to Chargers all 71/73 should be somehow interchangeable from exterior ( aside 71 sidemarkers ) but actually every year is 1 year only setup because radiator core support differences due the frame rails changes and isolation systems... it seems ridiculous, but the isolation changed a bit the fenders too due the frame rail changes.
