Is there a factory diagram or does anybody know the order in which the small leaf spring, grommets, shims, go?
I think I have it right with the spring first then the a large grommet, then under the frame will come the shims
followed by a retainer for the shims and last a large washer, rubber grommet and locking nut.

I think I posted a factory diagram not to long ago..I'll see if I can find it. Remember all 3 shims need to be kept...it's just a matter of whether they go above or below the bracket for height adjustment.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Found it....look here in the factory diagrams board. It's bulletin 337

The only thing available to the best of my knowledge are the rubber "pucks". lol...I just found the ones I apparently bought years ago. the packaging indicates I got them at classic auto parts in OK city. their pn P08-14110-10, with a note that it replaces B7A-8125-A. 2.95 for a pkg of the 2 req'd, but I'm sure price has gone up. I'd check with steve in 29Palms for a used set of the hard parts. Contact info is on our list of salvage yards.

when you order a full body rubber mount kit the 2 round rubber 'pucks' are included. I just checked my kit today for other reasons.
I also need the og center bolt and nut.

Really?  I need to go and sort through my boxes then as I had a full body mount kit and was about to try and get some new ones machined at work out of nylon!

Gary...rubber would be a better choice to give the front end some cushion after going thru a pothole....but, then again,  you may not have those in England.
