I'm want to install solid sub frame mounts on my 1975 Imperial. So far I've not been able to find anyone who makes them or know if they're similar to other body types. Firm Feel is open to potentially making some but they don't have dimensions. Ehrenberg doesn't have firsthand knowledge either.
Does anyone here know how similar/dissimilar they are to any other body types (B, F,M,J) or does anyone have one that they could measure or provide some detail?

Do you have an old one in decent shape to give to a machine shop to have it duplicated in a solid material like aluminum?
That's kinda the whole deal - I'm looking for a used one, or someone who knows what one looks like to fabricate some. Ideally, I'd like to not disable my car to hunt these down. I've asked around the usual suspects - Imperial Club website, ForCBodysOnly, two Facebook sites, Ehrenberg and here. I figured someone would have one or know "...it's like a late B or F,M,J body...blah, blah, blah) but, so far, haven't come across anybody or any business who knows/makes them.

I dont think anyone makes them but i did see a post back in the day where someone actually made a set for a c body, i think he used rectangular tubing and held it up to the floor from underneath and marked all the floor pan grooves then cut it and filled the cut outs , then mocked it up and voila, too old to remember where I saw it .

Thanks Fred - at this point I've found no one that makes them. I'm now trying to find someone who may have a parts car that I could buy the two different ones to use as a pattern to fabricate solid mounts. If you or anyone else might be able to help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
