Hard to find (impossible?) transmission mount

I'm restoring a 62 Mercury Montery convertible. Having a tough time locating a new transmission mount. IMine is broken. I guess I may need to have new rubber vulcanized in eh? Any ideas?

 

Dennis Carpenter has C20Z-6068-C
Not sure how close it is. Call him and find out

 

I am thinking that that mount should not be so hard to find. Have you tried all the chain parts stores? If I recall correctly, that style mount was used for several years Ford and Mercs. I probably have some old ones around, but you really should get a new one. Autozone, Advance, O'Rieleys, I would check in that order. Oh, and don't forget NAPA. Good luck, Ron

 

Wrecking yards usually have great interchange books....Those are worth their weight in gold !!

I gotta think that's the same as a Galaxie mount..

 

Its the same as a 61/62 Galaxie, they are a pain in the**** to find....or i was just looking in the wrong place. I eventually got a NOS one off ebay.

 

Yeh, thanx for all the great info. No luck so far with the exception of Mercury Land, who has a rebuilt one (exchange) for 265 bucks.
Think I'll keep looking...

 

Automatic or stick? here are two, I had a couple of those cars in the 70's. I just don't remember what it looks like.http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raf...16&partkey=440872&a=FRc1344866k440872-3373303

Attached picture of mount offered by Mercury Land. Which is the correct one.

 

I seems to remember that now, it seems to me I also had one that used a leaf spring type bkt on a stick shift car I had.I'll keep an eye out.

 

Check with Mercury Clubs on the net. They should be of some help.

 

I don't know if it's worth your time to try, but there is an auto parts store that has been around forever and there motto is if you can't find it anywhere on earth call Mars.I use to deal with them in the 70's and 80's and they stocked everything we needed a ring gear for my broyher in laws 1929 Elco boat with a flathead 6 chrysler and they had it so it may be worth a shot.There phone number is 631-665-0890 they do have an unbelievable inventory, the only problem was they use to charge list price even to shops, so we only used them on stuff we couldn't find anywhere else.I forgot they are on Long Island in NY.

 

Well, I ordered in some 60 durometer polymer from Forsch to try molding my own. May be too soft, not sure. 33 bucks plus a few dollars for shipping. May be worth a try eh?

 

Try Antique Auto Supply in Arlington, Texas 817-275-2381

 

If you've a part number, call Bob Allen Ford, 913.381.2999. He had new mounts (gennie Ford) for my '61 Falcon. No books, so he cannot look it up.

I appreciate all of the help. I have called all the recomendations, and many, many more. Googled my days away as well. Seems this mount is for 61-62 Mercury Monterey with Anti-harsh option and was never reproduced. And haven't been able to find any NOS, just the one rebuilt for 265 bucks.
So toay I made my H.A.T.M.M. (Hokey**** Tanny Mount Mold) and poared in the urethane. We'll give it a couple days to cure and see if it works. I'm actually pretty hopeful at this point.

 

Try Mac's antique auto parts on-line.

 

Don't forget Kanter! (they have bought up all the N.O.S. warehouses they could get their hands on...fair prices, too)

 

If you're in the Bay Area try Lee Auto Supply, 1525 Park St. Alameda CA 510-522-2727 Good luck, Dave

 

Yes, I've tried Macs, Kanter, Dearborn, Steal Rubber and everyone else.

 

Damn, I want to find one and don't even OWN the car! Dang Holy Grail.

 

Well, here it is. I'll let it cure for another couple of days, as I'm obviously not in any real hurry. Then we'll give it a try.

 

You should be fine sprayberry1. I've made them out of windshield urethane (not the rope buytal, the stuff that comes in the caulking tube. Worked great and only cost me $20 Keith

 

Keep us posted,...I hope the DIY method works !!!!!

It failed.,...

 

Try Johns Place at Big M auto in Williams Ca..

 

Are you restoring this car to councours spec originality? If not, I guess I don't see the problem with substituting any number of other trans mounts, Ford or otherwise.

It would appear that a conventional mount and a some simple brackets would provide the needed support.

That was my thought.

 

save the old mount and just adapt a different one so you can drive it, hell nobody will know or probably care.

 

I've tried John in Williams. He's a great guy and I may run up to buy some sheetmetal from him soon. But, he doesn't have the mount.
So yeh, my next thought is to adapt the traditional mount shown above. Should be easy enough, and probably even better....
