Need to locate a pair of spool mounts for a slant. Have the engine brackets, but they're bare. Locally, I can't get the mounts with the outer steel sleeve, just the rubber insert. Rock Auto wants to charge me $5 for the "privilage" of placing a phone-in order. I DON'T send my financial account numbers over an internet connection for any reason. Any suggestions where I might be able to round up a pair of spools? Roger |

Roger, did you find the mounts, yet? I have a pair of inserts, if that is what you need. PS: If this had been in the parts wanted, I would have responded sooner. |

Oops, sorry.  I did locate a pair at a local CarQuest. They had to be ordered in, and only cost me about $8 each.I also found out that there is a difference in outer dimensions between car and truck/van mounts. BTW, Charlie......what exactly do you mean by "inserts"? I take that word to mean just the rubber with a steel inner sleeve, and one would have to have the outer sleeve still in the engine bracket. The reason I interpret it that way is due to finding poly "inserts" available on the net, (at $37 each), and they were exactly that. Just a poly "rubber" insert with a steel inner sleeve. Roger |

The stock style "inserts" I have, are rubber, with a steel inner sleeve, and a steel outer shell. They are identical to the ones on Rockauto, at less then $2.00 each.

Trucks and vans never got spool mounts, They were sandwich mount until the end of the line in 87.

And the LA engines still had them through the mid-90's...but they had catch hooks to keep the mount together if the rubber failed (too bad they didn't do that from the 60's to 1972 in the cars).-D.Idiot |

******************************************************OK...that's what I got from the local CarQuest. So I'm using an incorrect term, (at least mentally), for the insert verb. I already had the engine brackets, just not with inserts in them. Thanks for the offer, though. Roger |

****************************************************Hmmmmm. Interesting.....so what do I have, then? I have two sets of engine brackets for a slant, that use spool inserts. One set utilizes inserts for a '75 Dart. My other set has larger oval cutouts for the insert, and the A-body inserts are too small to even consider using in them. Oohhh....might I have a set from an F-body? Roger |
