Re: IML: 1962 transmission mount

["Don Hudson" <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might be refering to Imperial Services.  They offer both transmission 
and engine mounts for many popular years of Imperials (including 62).  Their 
part # for the 62 transmission mount is IS-108 and costs $59 plus shipping. 
Motor mounts for the same 62 (and thru 65) is IS 271 and 272 and are $135 ea 
plus shipping.  Their parts are first class all the way.  Their web site is
