Drive shaft cross member support braket

edited November -1 in HUDSON
Im finding out in the last year replacing part for my stepdown isnt like buying parts for my 50'shoebox. I think thats some of the charm of owning a Hudson.
I need to replace of rebuild the cross member support for the drive shaft. Dont think i should try traveling to PA this spring for National with rope wraped around it hold all together.
Does anyone no if there is a replacement for my 54 Auto trans Hornet.
Or do i have to road the plant for a used one that doesnt reqiure a rope.

    Try any of the used parts suppliers in the HET mag. I'm sure there are decent '54 brackets out there.
  • Matt check your PM.
  • do you need the whole bracket, or do you just need to replace the bearing?
  • Be a little more accurate about the problem. Is the bracket / frame rusted for driveshaft. Or are you needing the rubber mounts , the rubber mounts are not hard to find,

  • No rust , the rubber is broken
  • I'm hoping to be able to rebuild , need a replacement rubber

    This will link you to "Rock Auto" they have the "Metro Rubber replacement. $15.07 each. K-gap and others should have it too,

    before you put it back together, check out a shop manual. make sure you have all the parts and they are together correctly. the auto and std use the same parts in different configurations.

    I got my rubber mounts from Kgap as well as the motor and trans mounts. Good service.
    Enjoy your ride.
