other companies who build poly mounts can build a quality product at much cheaper price
Is that right? I don't think it is. Let's take a look.
From Schumacher:
• A poly '62-'72 or '73-up trans mount is $81 + ship & handle
• A pair of poly mounts (various styles, but each involving some poly and some bent heavy-gauge steel and some hardware) is $144 to $279 + ship and handle
From Imperial Services:
• A poly '62-'72 A-body trans mount is $79 + ship and handle. Other poly trans mounts are $69 to $89 + ship and handle.
From PolyBushings
• A pair of poly '62-'66 A-body slant-6 engine mounts is $119 + ship and handle.
• A pair of poly '67-'72 A-body + '69-'93 Dodge truck engine mounts is $137 + ship and handle.
• A pair of poly spool inserts for '73-up slant-6 mounts is $68 + ship and handle.
So not only does Polybushings supply stuff nobody else does, but their stuff is priced substantially lower than comparable products for higher-volume applications from other companies.
Not only that, but if we plug $119 in 2010 dollars into the
inflation calculator we see that this pair of motor mounts would have cost $17.41 in 1965 dollars, which is in the close neighborhood of what genuine factory Chrysler replacement mounts cost in 1965.
Sir, I believe you done been pwned. Nevertheless, if you are so sure you can make mounts of equal quality for less, then do it. Until then, you are griping about nothing and in the process you are jeopardizing future availability of parts for our extremely small market. Stop it now, please and thank you (and you're welcome).
