I ordered some replacement mounts.
Anybody have the info on how to replace 'em? ( And yes, I've ordered a manual-just want to get on this asap. )
Right side is broken. Here are pics... for those wondering. Do you have to remove seat to get at nut or is bolt threaded into frame?
What model 1970 are you working on? Doesn't look like an A body.
I am just gonna guess because I dont know what I looking at. Unless you can access the nut that the body bolt is screwed into I would say it is a cage nut which doesn't give you access by taking the seat out. Hopefully the bolt comes out and is not rusted solid and then the nut spins when trying to remove. You then have to access it by cutting a hole in floor directly over the spinning nut and get some vise grips on it or cut it off. Hopefully you got new bolts/hdw along with mounts?
I just need a little more info.

I can't lay my hands on my 1970 Chassis Service Manual, but 1971 is different. Here's a scan from a 1968, it has the square bushing like your car. It appears there's a cage nut inside the body. I did dismantle a 1967 years ago and still have the quarter panels. I'll look to see if I can get any photos that may help. John

#3 does look very similar. Can't see a reason why '70 wouldn't have a cage nut, too. What are the instructions to R&R those rubber bushings?
Are you in Medford proper or even more blessed to be out in J'ville or Ruch?

Got the CSM today. Same 2e2 pic in the '70 CSM. And I think it sucks. THe manual.
The first two things I want to do, change rear mounts and replace bulb in the console...it has no instructions. Nothing on the interior door panels I can see, either.
But I'm old. Maybe it's in there...SOMEWHERE.

Is it a factory console? If so it should be the same as used in the Cutlass/442 with I believe an addition to raise it up off the floor. Try looking at the A-body console details. If your still striking out I've got some loose consoles in the garage. Post a picture of yours so I'm sure I'm on the right track and I can take some photos to help you access the light. I've got some other Toro parts and parts cars, let me know if I can help with photos of anything else. I may not have time to check here every day, but I will try to watch for your posts. John

I hear ya. I'm not always able to check internet stuff, either.
Thanks for your time and assistance!
Can you point to where the light is your trying to access?
The bulb is located behind the green 2"x 1/4" rectangle above the Generator indicator. There's a purple rectangle, next to it, above the Oil Pressure indicator.
Hope that helps.
Thanks! I'm grateful for your help.
