Hey all, well I got my new shock mounts, and they look nice.  Way  
beefier than the Raybestos kit I had in a box from a few years ago.   
I already sent this info to Ron, but wanted to see if anyone had any  
info regarding application that I'm missing.  All 4 cars 2 G60/2  
stock UFO ,ALL have the 441383B mount.  Black car had the G60  
conversion done in 96 at the dealer.  As far as I can tell, with 4  
cars worth of front suspension, they all took that same mount.  Does  
any of you with the G60 have a different mount?  The Raybestos kit is  
stamped steel(wimpy) with the lower part being all rubber instead of  
a iron sleeve with a rubber bushing.  While the Raybestos kit should  
fit(all mic'd out close), I like the beefier feel of the cast  
mounts.  The FAG(made in canada......happy Canada day Dave) bearings  
seem a bit smoother than the ones that came from overseas, but all  
will work flawlessly.....I've got a set of FAG front wheel bearings  
that I just assumed were chinese(who'd name a business FAG).....but I  
checked, and those were also built in Canada.....Anyway, heres a pic  
of the difference....Tom
