I am starting to put my 1973 coupe back together which I bought as a big pile of parts. I have started putting suspension back on the frame and got the suspension kit from Vansteel. The bracket that mounts to the differential in front looked to be the correct one but when I use the parts from vanssteel the diameter of the sleeve in the mounting cushions is larger than the hole in the bracket, and the bolts are too short. (In the picture the short bolt was s from vansteel the long one was on the bracket originally) Do we think I somehow got the wrong bracket in my big pile of parts? are there different brackets for different years? did vansteel send me the wrong stuff?
For the front snubber bolt, the rubbers and sleeve go on the frame mount, then just a washer and nut below the diff mount. The one bolt for the bracket to diff looks more like a pivot bolt for the trailing arm.
Take another photo of the rubber bushings separate. so it can be possibly described to you better than what you have pictured.. Or go off of the drawing in this thread.
The big round bushing that looks like a hockey puck with hole in it goes BETWEEN teh frame and the new mount plate you have shown.
