Re: '63 Rubber Cushion on Crossmember Over Rear Axle

Just noticed I do not have a ratio tag on the differential in the coupe, I just added the 3.36 tag. I forgot to put it on when I rebuilt the differential.

I just checked some photos. #5962 (Dec 62 build) had the rubber. #11576 had no rubber.

Joe, #9434 had the two cushions in place as well.

I have a judging meet in September. If I have any 63's I'll ask my judges to look for these but not to deduct if they are not there on a coupe. We don't know if they were discontinued during the model year so there is no way to have an objective decision.

Harry,

Any of these show up at your meet? Just curious.

Norm, I have not looked in the past, but I will and my judges will in the future. I spoke with one of the 63 judges that normally does Chassis at Regional's and National's and he looks. He notes or deducts as appropriate.

Thanks Harry. I noticed the other day when browsing that Dr. Rebuild lists the C1 & C2 ones as separate items. I wonder if there is a distinction between them.

The C1 part sits on the side rail and are a different shape.

They were not on my June build coupe, 17403.
I looked at the photos from the body lift and they were not there.
