Body Mount Brackets
Need to replace the #4 body mount brackets on my 1971 convertible, both upper and lower. Where is the best source for quality replacements of these parts? Any info is appreciated.

#4 mounts see the worst enviroment due to location behind rear wheels. I replaced my rubber mounts only to have them split up after recommended torque. Replaced them secound time and used lower torque. I was lucky and only had minor corrosion on body side of one bracket but i can see where it could be worse for others.
My fix was just POR15 - just wire brush clean and apply POR15. If i were to replace all rubber mounts again i would install poly mounts on the end mounts (#1 & #4) and use the rubber mounts on the inside mounts (#2 & #3). More rigid and durable at the ends and still has some squish below the people compartment.
Good luck on bracket replacement as i have read u need to find the right adhesive and pop rivets for the body brackets. A guy named NH Vette did this but hasn't posted here for a long time now.
Good luck,
