Hello Yean-Yves,

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I am most grateful. I not only need the rubber inserts, but I am missing the entire metal housing. I’ll contact the two people you have referred me to. If they don’t have them do you know anywhere else I can find these? Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Bill

A place called Old Parts Source, in Montville NJ has repros available.

They have an ebay store so if you go on ebay and search "1958 Chrysler front motor mounts" and / or " 1958 Chrysler transmission mount", the product should appear.

Engine mounts are listed at $100 /pair and the trans mount is listed at $70, + shipping.

Other option is "Then and Now Automotive" in MA, they can vulcanize new rubber on your original metal cores.

I bought a trans mounts from them and was satisfied.

Jean-Yves.

Hi quick answer the round ones in front look worse than they are . A person in Turkey (!) makes the rubbber inserts but in practice some of them seem to have been vulcanized solidly into the shell . As a result of much difficulty trying to change the rubber spool , last time I added two washers to raise up the motor ( they tend to settle ) You cannot see this change , and clean/ paint outside. . The pin is normally located assymmetric in the rubber even when new. That is not a failure.
The transmission mount is fairly available —used in thousands of mopar cars , probably all TF mopar 57-61 .

I found both the Turkey guy and mount quickly by google search . JY copied may know specific suppliers .

Hope that helps .. John

restoring cars similar to yours.

not, let me know and I'll search further.

Hello Bob,

My name is William D. Hober. I have been a member of the Chrysler 300 Club since 1999. I have a 1958 Chrysler 300D that I am now restoring. I am in desperate need of engine motor mounts and rear transmission mounts. Do you know where I can get these? Do you have them? If you can give me some information on where to source these. I would be grateful.

Best regards,
