64/65 'lark/GS core support bolt kit to frame rails

[benderbrew]

Someone over on the other board mentioned the club here. Need those washers, rubbergrommet, large bolt and spacer for both sides of the core support. Also someone mentioned OPG, however I can't find them there. If anyone know exactly the name of these "things" let me know, I'll try for brand new ones. Thanks as always.

Hi Len, glad you joined us here!
I tried a 64-67 Chevelle kit, it was much different than the Buick mounts. Had to return it.
I did buy the correct rubber bushings from
www.restorationspecialties.com
Authentic hardware is avail from
www.amkproducts.com/
follow their links to the pdf catalog and look in the washer section. There are some listed there that may fit.

Finally, CARS has a kit listed for 64-72, but I have no idea if it is correct for 65:

They have lots of repo bushings on their page here:

I'll dig up my old mounts and gets some pics and measurements up later.
Hopefully someone else here has found a kit that worked well.

Walt,Len,

I never found a replacement kit for the 65 Buick that is the same as stock. They seem to be by themselves. I ended up refurbishing a stock set from several used and parts cars.

Thanks for the info Walt. Actually been a member for several months but like a lot of things 65 plus I forgot. Mark thans also. Actually went to cars, saw the kit, looks right, well sorta...but "went" ahead and purchased one kit. 
Anyone out there in 65 land running a 455 with authentic cast iron Stage II heads like this o'l guy?
Kinda of a one of a kind me thinks. Car is not finished but prolly 80%. Thanks again to all. The orange car in the previous pic is a true post GS, that also has a stout 455, with all the proper drive train to stay together.

I did some research....
According to the 66 assembly manual, The two mounts are pn 1377360 and 1377367.
CARS has a repo of the 1377367, it's pn BM644A. It's included in the rad support kit. ;D
But the other mount in the kit is GM # 1242661, or CARS # BM644.....it's 1-1/8" thick, whereas the original should be
about 1/2" thick.   So you may need to cut the one in the kit to the proper thickness.
CARS might be able to subsitute a thinner mount. You would have to call them and ask.

Here's a pic of my original:

And a pic of the repo mounts from restoration specialties.
The center hole in these does need to be opened up slightly.
CARS does have a correct repo of the upper one., their pn BM644A. (I didn't know at the time)
Maybe they have the other one. It's hard to tell from their catalog pics.

Chris, a full kit would be a nice item for your GS auto parts store ;)
