Stub Frame body mounts/isolators

[Husky]

A while back I asked about stub frame to body isolators and got some helpful tips. Since these rubber mounts/isolators are no longer available, I have decided to make my own. I have every measurement except for the size of the holes where the isolators bolt to the frame (the two side by side mounts at the dash foot of the stub frame). Just wondering if anyone knows what diameter these holes are or has access to a 70-73 stub frame and can measure it for me?

Here's a chance to contribute to some important information.
Nice mission, Husky.

Thanks Commando1, I appreciate your interest and support with this important issue.

Using my trusty tape measure I came up with a measurement of 1-11/16".

Thanks very much for that Polarus, very helpful. BTW, out of curiosity, which model and year is the stubframe from?

Thanks for the pics Polarus. No offence but that Polara looks like it was pulled out of a swamp. Are you planning on a full resto?

Hey, Polarus, one more favor if it's not too much bother. I notice the bottom side of each hole protrudes down as a sort of flange. Could you use your trusty tape measure or ruler and measure how long the flange protrudes? I cannot measure mine directly but estimate it to be about 1/8". Thanks again!

Sure slag his car then ask him for another favor LOL. Nice looking project, what's the game plan?

 

[Husky]

@zog, no slagging here, just a jestful commentary at the task at hand, which I'm sure Polarus would understand...

No offense takin, up here in the Northeast that's considered pristine! There is no flange around the holes, the surrounding metal is flat.

The area around the hole is clean from the friction of the isolator, I'm planning a full restoration I just need more time, money, talent.

Ha ha, I'm pretty sure which 2 of those 3 areas you need more of. Looks like you've got a plan and somewhere to actually do it. I cannot even get my ride into the garage...all my work has to be done on blocks/stands in the front yard. Good luck with it and thanks very much for your help.

Glad I could help. Good luck and post some photo's.
