I rebuilt my top mounts with some silicone parts from McMaster-Carr. Easy to do. Grind off the old rubber from the top mounts that has failed, epoxy these in place and reinstall. Good for around 500 degrees of heat, Enjoy.

Good tip and resource. McMaster sells these in 5 packs. I see 2 were used. Do you need to sell 2 of those extras? You could free up that storage space as well, ha.

Scott, fortunately or unfortunately, I have two cars that run and needed them. I can send you one if you email me your address....

They are only like $23 for the five pack plus a little shipping. McMaster-Carr has the absolute best customer service and sent out within an hour or two, communicated the process via email all along the way, and showed up the next day!

Oh this was a joke more than anything. I saw the price, totally reasonable for 5. Agreed on the customer service from McMaster.
