    It would be nice to order a " kit" with all the correct components...

    Thanks for doing all the research.

    Dave the rear pads that plug in do they have them too or do we need to go somewhere else to get them ?

    Mike they show a few different styles of the plug ins on the www.oldcarstuff.com website. They are $20.00 per pair and you need 2 pair. Best bet is measure originals and maybe call them and see if their replacements are same. My bet is they are.

    Dave - old thread but super helpful. I see they offer BM644(A)-1,2,3,4 etc. Just to be clear, A bodies should use the BM644-2? and the cushion is BM644A-3?

    Well when I got them they were mount BM644 for the mount and cusion was BM644A. Not sure what those other numbers are? I haven’t check their site for some time. Someone told me their cushion molded in washer was no thinner?

    It looks like they broadened their offerings and added a suffix at the end to differentiate between the mounts. Thanks again for the info!

    Looks like there's now a BM644-2 and a BM644-4. The "4" part number shows as for a Riviera, so I'm guessing that's not for our cars?

    If anyone takes the plunge and orders, would they mind posting up exactly what they bought with the updated part numbers and quantities? I'm needing to do this job soon on my car.

    The Olds guys Fusick and in line tube offer the thinner mount that go under the doors.

    Dave - The Cars ones are not right for the mid mount? Do you have part numbers? I don't see them on their sites.

    Look through the Inline tube catalog. They sell those by the prince. Thinner with smaller hole.

    I had trouble getting a clear picture on Inline Tube site in Olds catalog. They sell them by the piece. I think it maybe their part number INL12476

    Thanks for the link. Is the Fusick kit as good/better than the CARS parts? Does it include what is necessary for the core support positions as well? I think I'd probably go ahead and order the body bolt kit from ToddGS (Diecast Muscle Cars) since it looks like a better set of hardware.

    "Cars" would be the more correct body mounts but more expensive. I used the Fusick mounts but also purchased the core support mounts from "Cars".
    I believe I purchased the convertible kit & got the extra two for under the front doors. This was back in about 2005. maybe they have changed the design since then.

    I don’t agree with that. The Fusick is more correct even for a Buick. Cars does not include the correct type that go under the doors. Fusick does. I believe the indented type In Line shows is them. Neither company offers the correct cushions with molded in washers in their kits which is strange for cars as they sell them by the piece. The kit I got from Cars was a generic Chevy kit. Unless something changed? This was true at least a few years ago anyway. Cars cushion with molded in washer is part BM644A. You need 12. If you are super picky like me you may want to piece a kit together. Fusick kit which I think may have the correct number of mounts for Buick’s which had 4 mounts under the firewall. Olds had only two. Ask them but picture shows enough. You would need two more for core support. You can ditch the goofy gold hardware and hunt down correct ones.

    Just don’t buy Fusick core support mount. The are square and only ones that don’t work for a Buick.
