I was thinking you could take some old style upper shock bushings and trim them and add washers as needed. They have a 3/8" hole in the center of them. Get the sharp knife ready and don't cut yourself.

Good idea. I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe just look through some different ones at the junkyard and see if I can find anything that fits or can be easily modified. Just need to get it bolted up well enough for it to stay on there. I found some on Amazon that may work also.

Oh, and I'm definitely going to cut myself. If I didn't have scars from working on cars, I wouldn't have nearly as many as I do.

If you want easy and new, you can get those bushings at auto parts stores in the HELP line or some other line they use. Inexpensive.

I ended up using these rubber isolators and they're very squishy. We'll see if they hold up against the elements but they definitely worked to get it reinstalled.
