I made my own out of standard gasket material you can get at any Auto Supply store. Now that I think of it, I might have made it out of cork gasket material. Either way, very easy to make.

Interesting information. When I took the rear mount apart to blast amd paint, the rubber appeared to be more of a resin than rubber. I thought it was just because it was so dry and old.

That one is the from mounts. My fronts are good. Its the rears that I need. Thank-you for looking though.

Poor quality is better than none at all. I'll PM you and get some more info. If the dam border would open up it would help. I'm hoping to make it down to the National meet in Southbend.

Here it is.

The bracket that the mount fits in looks like this. I can't seem to find the actual mount. It fits inside with one on each side. If I seen one I'd know it. George Rohrbeck had one last year and sent me a picture. Of course I can't find the picture now. LOL Derek

Thanks Rex. Been distracted last few days. Tracking down some pictures right now.

Eventually I'll need almost everything. Its for my 34 Dictator. Right now I'm trying to set the groundwork for the future. Budget is tight but I'm full of willpower and determination to find a way within my means. I would likely start with the rear engine/transmission mounts. It's simple and the first rubber piece I need.

I've read from some of you that you have made certain rubber pieces that were hard to get. I've done some Google searches to see if their is a recipe but have not had any luck. I'm guessing there must be different densities for different applications as well. Any links or recipes would be a great start. Thank you in advance.

My father started that way with mine in '72. I'm reversing the little bit that he did to make it as original as I can.

Pictures of the 2 I have. The blasted one is the original for the 34 Dictator Coupe with rumble seat. The extension tube is 19" compared to the tilt is 24"long. The bottom frame mount is identical. The bolt patterns the same. The mid frame mount is quite different.

I'm going to pull out my original and the spare and see if I can find any differences like bolt pattern etc. I'll post pics too but it will have to wait until tomorrow.

My 34 Dic does not have the tilt option like the one in the picture. I'm assuming because mine has a rumble seat. I was wondering what the differences are as I have a spare that has the tilt lever.

I had a set of period correct aftermarket king pins I put on my 34. (I haven't checked ti see if your 35 is the same as my 34) I'll see if I can find the original boxes and get you some numbers. There should be a few options for you.

I've watched a few Youtube videos about this place and it makes me envious to learn this skill. I am moderately capable with basic shaping with a hammer, dollies and sandbag but these guys are a whole new level of talent.

@AussieJohn That is a Beautiful Commander! I love the doors!

Thanks. I'm not near my parts book otherwise I'd look it up.

@studeqwhat is the difference between this one and the 34 rad cap? Size? I have 6 or 7 at home, none of them in spectacular shape. I want to make sure all of mine are actually 34s if there is a difference.

George, This thread was brought up from 2 years ago but I see some familiar parts I am in desperate need of. Do you have many of them left. There are rear axle u bolts and it looks like a bottom plate. They look similar to what mine are suppose to be. I need rear engine mounts. The big U frame looks like mine so not sure if you have the rubber mount. Let me know if you do have the parts as there might be more. Derek 34 Dictator Coupe

How they fit has been confirmed. 😁

It's all good. Take your time. 😉 I havent talked to anyone on the site with a 34 dictator. I have the name of a fella to contact here in Ontario that has one. With Covid and slow progress on the car I haven't wanted to bother him with a call.

That is excellent! That should really help me make sense of where everything goes and what I need. All the rubber grommets are a burnt, cracked or dried out. Can I bother you for one more thing. I am missing the bottom plate to mount the rear axle, U-bolts and shock link. It appears to be a simple plate of steal with the holes drilled in the correct spots. If you could measure length width and thickness I can figure the hole positions. I should be able to manufacture one myself. I really appreciate all your help.

Sorry, I was confusing. I knew mine was a model A. I was pointing out that the 35 dictator doesn't have any on the front yet the 34 does. I was looking at it from a point of logic in why the 35 doesn't have one and the 34 does? They aren't that different. To explain my point of view, I have to assemble my car like a jigsaw puzzle. I open a box full of pieces and only a picture and some parts manuals to go by. Therefore I approach everything with a question of why, how and logic.

Sweet. That helps. My factory parts manual is a 34-46. It doesn't list these numbers. Pictures of how yours mounts would be great. Mine is a Canadian one which if you notice for the rear at least, has a different number although I am certain they are essentially the same. Another interesting note is if you notice the manual says under Note 4 that the 35 Dictator does not use front shocks. Unless I'm misunderstanding what it is saying.

I have no doubt it would be the same as the 35 Dictator. The parts manual doesnt say that. I am just now in the shop and all mine are Delco Remy which by the manual makes sense because the 35 Canadian built ones were Delco. Some pictures on location and proper orientation would be great. Before I start the rebuild on them I'd like to know which ones I am going to use. I have 6. Here are a few pictures. 2nd picture is where I am at. Piecing it together a little at a time.
