Default Is it possible.....

All,
Is it possible to change the #4 body mount reinforcement cups without lifting the whole body? The rest of the mounts look good, the frame looks good, but the reinforcements
are rotted. I really don't want to have to lift the body..............
Thanks for any help.

Regards,
John

Only if you modify the cup slightly to allow it to be put into place without lifting the body. Also you won't be able to install the rivets on the one side




I put about 1/8" of panelbond into the bottom of the bracket, let it skin-over so it doesn't fully bond to the body (just in case down the road someone else gets the pleasure of de-bubbafying my bubbafying) and riveted everything else in place, lined everything up and let it set with weight until the bonding cures
9 years ago now... no issues
