    C2 1963 Roadster Inboard Body Mounts

    Sorry if this has been covered before. I spent time searching but didn't see the exact answers I am looking for.

    I have a late build '63 convert (18XXX) and I am doing a body off on it.

    1. Does anyone know who sells replacement rubber mounts for the inboard mounts? These are the two locations which are not really body mounts but the anchors for the inboard seat belt mounts. The GM part number for the mounts is either 3838539 or 3832359 (not sure). I know I can't get them through GM and I haven't found these in the resto catalogs. Any suggestions?

    2. How are the rectangular rubber shims attached to the fourth frame cross-member? I bought two repro shims but it's not obvious exactly where they go and how they are attached. My car didn't have these when I took the body off the frame originally.

    Greg,

    The shims you mention sit about 9" inboard from each end. Some cars only have one, check the archives as there was a discussion a few years ago and people posted with comments about this.

    I would shim the frame to body/doors first before installing these if I was doing it but others may do the procedure differently..
