What is the best option to replace the rubber K frame isolators, polly or soilds?
I am leaning towards solids unless their is any good reason not to use them?

I did a quick Google search and couldn't find a lot. Any first hand experience and links to a supplier would be great.

I'd go poly. Hard enough to get the upgrade but still keeping some of the original idea and design

Would anyone happen to have the measurements for these isolators?
I am in Australia and think it is going to be quicker and much cheaper to make a set on the lathe rather than order from Summit etc.

Thanks in advance.

I used poly. They work fine. Start rust busting the bolts ahead of time.

Thanks for the tips guys. I did some more googling and checked out for B bodies only. Looks lie there is 2 different design shapes. Would either style work in a 73 Charger?

the firm feel ones are with the same shape of the stock rubbertop pieces without the bottom piece. The big washer makes the work of the bottom one, just like the pre 72 are, with the washer

that doesn't mean the other ones won't work, but they look to replicate the same "sandwich" design
