Thumbs up Re: IRS upper shock mount - Permanent fix

Hey Sox,
good work on the IRS upper strut mount fix.

My AU fairlane needs a pair now and was looking at replacing them with good second hand ones for now ($130 pair vs $250 each quoted by various ford dealers in Mel).

Just wanted to know how your mod is holding up (Time/Km travelled since mod).

I was thinking about getting my old ones after they are replaced and adapting say a late commodore front strut top rubber/housing as it looks similar to the construction of the rubber inside the AU upper mount.

Would need spacers,housing etc and some cutting/welding, but would like to make it so that the commo style can be replaced from inside the boot if needed at a later stage.
I do have a mig, small lathe and mill and will try this at a later date.

What do you think?

PS: does anyone know where I can get a new upper strut mount for less than $250 each?

Cheers.
