Is one of these the center body mount bushings?

    I was given a new set of bushings with my roller project. The one on the left is one of eight that go into locations 1,2,6 and 7 on both sides. I have 2 of each of the ones in the center and on the right. (I know I have extras). The one in the center is the same height as the (8) on the left. The one on the right is slightly taller in height. It appears (not sure but appears) the frame has a slightly indented spot for mount location 3 as where the gauge is pointed to in the pics. I know location 3 mount is different than all the others.

    Would you say the right bushing goes to location #3 as it's slightly taller? Or should it be the same height as 1,2,6 and 7?

    Thanks

    I thought I read that position 3, right under the door opening is where the small diameter mount goes, but I assumed they were all the same height.

    Thanks. Can anyone verify if location 3 bushing is the same height or taller than 1,2,6 and 7?

    The taller one is suspicious...unless it's a core support bushing. I'll have a full set here in a week or so to compare.

    I just measured the Factory Originals that came out of my car and they're almost identical. Actually the center one in question was about an 1/8" shorter but they're also 50 years old

    The reproductions that I sell are the same height . . . .

    I'll also add that the # 3 position does have a slightly smaller opening for the Bolt.
