Hi Shane,

Was in you position a couple years ago when I get my mounts replaced.

The 'round' mount I found impossible to find, but had luck with the 'Pentagon' shaped one.

I bought two Pentagon mounts (can't remember where from) and made them fit the rack.

Try Italian automotive spares. If not possibly Turin imports?

Here's a pic of my old ones.

Cheers, Andrew.

Could be a candidate for reproduction bushes cast in Flexane 80.

Here is some info from my research.


alfa 164 original part number for the hex shaped rubber is 60801370

The later part number for this is  82388352

Keep in mind the 164 was very similar if not the same chassis used on the Fiat Chroma, Saab 9000, and a Lancia. Not sure if they all use the same mount but the fiat and Lancia did.

Datsun 240z and Subaru impreza wrx have similar mounts so could be used in a pinch - they are also readily available and cheap.

I've attached photos of them and also a photo I found of the 164 mount all laid out thanks to Alfa bb.

Hope this helps someone.

Regards

Shane
