These could be made easily. I have the crimping tool and a bunch of the clamps, just not the style mopar put on. These eyelets arent steel, but its what I had lying around.

Clearly Mopar used some special bolt ends to keep the piece from getting crushed/tisted.

I would loop them around and forget the eyelets and just use two clamps. Slightly longer upper bolt and a spacer on the lower bolt and youd be good. I used 3/16" air craft type cable.

7.5" seems abit long, even though thats what I measured as well.

Someone always has to be a wise guy. 50 bucks is for a complete mount with the strap.

IIRC Schumacher Creative services sells what they call a "magnum" motor mount with a bolt through it that limits travel.I put one on my Polara years ago and have had no trouble with it.

I bought a 1969 Chrysler station wagon years ago with a 383, it had the driver's side strap.
4bbl, high flow exhausts, 3.23 sure grip, and the gas cap said "premium fuel only".






Wow, a talking gas-cap..!
Who would've guessed that kind of technology already found it's way into cars in '69...
