I found these in a Hudson box labeled "7X motor mounts" Is that what these are? I have never seen them before. If so, I am surprised they have are not being reproduced.
GOOD FIND.
SEVERE USAGE PARTS LIST - Section Z in Master Parts Catalog 1948-1954
307574 Kit-engine front mounting, consists of 2-30753, 2-307544, 2-GM181413, 1-GM451014, 4-171096, 2-307664, and 2-307660
307543 - - Mounting-upper-engine front
307554 - - Mounting-lower-engine front
171873 - - Bolt-engine front mounting
GM451014- Nut-engine front mounting bolt
171096 - P/washer-engine front mounting bolt
307664 - Sleeve-engine front mounting bolt
307660 - Bushing--engine front mounting
It seems as if part numbers GM181413 and 171873 are the same bolts. Possibly some slight differences or come from different suppliers?
Thanks for sharing your find. Looks in like new condition, NOS

First time I have ever seen them! Thanks,
Years ago I had a problem with breaking several left front MM on my 51 Hornet. I researched and found how they did it in the old days. I used a through bolt and parts from two broken mounts to make the equivalent. . Not unlike pre-stepdown mounts. They appeared to be stock, since they retained the two mounting bolts, but have the safety of the 7X design. .
Don-
Are you going to look into having them reproduced?
Russell,
I don't really have the time to take on a project of reproducing them. If Wildrick wants to take on the project I can send them to him as long as I get them (or a new set) back in return. I am a little surprised they have not been reproduced in the past. Maybe there isn't much of a demand, but they sure look like a better option than the other style mounts.
