I vaguely remember something about early Camaro, Firebird front subframe isolators being close and can be modified to fit.

Rubber ones isolate noise and vibration. Well that is what they were supposed to do. Any hard mount will not do that. Not that it matters that much I think.

What about old urethane roller skate wheels? Not the in-line wheels, but the old school style skates with trucks.

Try this http://www.metrommp.com/

Left side links, 2nd one down "Universal parts", then look under "Body cushions". They have lots of them. You will want to measure your stock ones. Maybe they have a direct fit or you might have to trim a little.

Either way you can keep the rubber ones of you want. Post your findings for us if they have something that works.
