 |
|
Hello, I’m restoring a 69 baywindow bus. The frame mounts for the engine were bent. Photo attached. Im wondering if anyone has repaired bent mounts like this (or replaced them) that would be willing to share their thoughts.
You can see half the rubber motor mount- the engine was ripped out. It’s a good story and I’ll tell it someday;)
Pictures are of the driver side mount. Passenger side is also bent but not nearly as bad.

| Looks like a job for a Port-A-Power hydraulic ram. |

See if there is a local car body shop equipped with a frame straightening setup.

A king sized crescent wrench would solve that problem in seconds.
