1970 body mounts 442
have a new complete set of body mounts from inline tube and not sure if they are correct or not. all have a 3/4" hole in the center of the metal sleeve that is in the middle of the rubber mount. Is that correct ?? also have two that have a dished out metal sleeve on top and not sure of their location on the frame. I know their is suppose to be two solid mounts included in the kit and talked with inline and they are sending me those now to replace two others that i assume were wrong they only had a 1/2" hole in the metal sleeve which to me seems to be what they all should be. anybody know what is right here ??-----------------thanks-----------Greg

Greg,
Is this a convertible or fast back? If it is a fast back, and particularly a "Holiday" coupe, you should have 6 mounting spots for the body to the frame: Two on each side of the bottom of the cowl, and 2 behind the axel, and 2 at the back corners. The two over the axel and the two in the middle of the frame should not have holes. I think post coupes are the same. Whether it is inline or OPGI the sets have the same number of bushings with sleeves. I bought mine from Inline at MCCAN a couple of years ago. I had to show the guy pictures of how mine came apart, but they sent me the correct bushings so that I had 4 that did not have holes or sleeves. I cannot remember if the "set" comes with the radiator support bushings or not. I was thinking Inline sold the radiator support bushings separate. They should have a square top.
I'll let the convert guys speak up if it is a convertible.

Greg,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes 6 metal sleeves, and 6 solids is how mine came from the factory. Mine was a Freemont build 70 442. I took apart a 70 Cutlass Lansing build, same thing. I know guys that have taken apart several Lansing cars and they have had all the same configurations. Possibly, someone else can weigh in with a different experience for a Holiday coupe. Inline says that there are two more bolts per side, but I haven't seen it. I am not claiming to be an expert though.
Here are the pictures of my new bushings. The only ones with the smaller wholes is the square ones for the radiator support.
