Re: [Chrysler300] 300C body mount production change?

Christopher -

What you are describing is what they used for the body mount under the trunk
floors of convertibles. I'll bet that you also have an X-piece on your
frame. It's all about extra strength and rigidity.

On my 59 Dodge convertible, I discovered these welded to what was left of
the trunk floor. When I welded in the new floor, I made sure that these were
included. BTW, I believe mine had bolts running thru them, anchoring the
trunk floor to the body mounts.

supercharged coupe, I have noticed that the 2nd most rearwards body mount,
the one that sits each side behind the rear axle, and just sits on a rubber
round block held on the frame, has no bolt though it, has on this car a
seperate round multi pressed plate that is directly under it, and affixed
uner the floor.

pressing/plate, of about 6-8 inch rough diameter, is not there, and the
steelwork there is as one piece instead shaped as a raised sort of boxlike
mound/bracket base.

guess is the seperate plate would be a real rust haven/germinator, and would
soon rust out the floor sheetmetal it attached to??

taken a bit hit some time, or broken factory welds and been roughly
rewelded, which we are fixing - anyone else had such trouble with their 300C
?    Otherwise every factory weld still as good as new, although welder guys
cannot believe how rough/crude they look.
