Subframe isolator/body biscuit measurements?

[Sd.Kfz. 400]

Got this idea from another forum, it would be nice to know at least the height of the stock ones.

Here's a new biscuit on the Marin County.


And a reference pic from the body manual

I made mine out of Delrin (hard plastic). There are 6 bushings total, the front 4 bushings I made 1.3" tall and the rear 2 I made 1" tall. I based this off of the dimensions I measured off of the old bushings. And verified it with the compressed measurements while still installed in my other car. I actually have the drawing I sent to the machine shop, I could scan in and post, my bushings went right in with no changes needed.

Thanks!
Did you do the radiator support's bushings too?

That'd be awesome! SD asked me about my measurements, and I referred him to my post saying that I didn't have them, and suggesting he create a thread in the hopes that you'd have yours available.

Funny how these things work. I just want to make sure I am earning my keep around here by being able to provide revelant information. I will try and scan my engineering drawing in the next couple days.

Sd, I have not made any bushings for the radiator support yet. I plan on doing that but I have not gotten that far. My core support is still in the car. The car I have been working with up until this point, did not have a core support in it when I got it. I will post the info here once I have it.

I'm just hoping that bad jokes with bad english is enough.

Really good information still and most likely impossible to find from the net.

+I'm definately not running into a machine shop any time soon, most likely I get the engine out my car around 2014-15. To be honest, it could be 2023 when I start the bigger restoration/handling improvement project.
